We’re building what this journey has always deserved.
Why we exist
A surrogacy journey is one of the most meaningful things a family will ever go through. It brings together some of the most dedicated people in medicine, law, finance and emotional support. We think the system connecting them should be just as good.
We started with a simple question: why does a journey this important still run on email threads, spreadsheets and phone tag?
Not for the lack of trying. Agencies, clinics, legal teams and escrow partners work incredibly hard for every family. What they’ve been missing is a single system built for all of them to share. Journeya is that system: one shared record for every person a journey touches, from the first inquiry to years after birth.
For every family on the other end, it’s the difference between wondering and knowing.
The people behind it
Our CEO, Tonya Canaday, has spent 18 years helping families come together through surrogacy. Today she leads a team of people who know this work from the inside.
Reproductive endocrinologists.
Fertility physicians who bring clinical rigor to every layer, because these workflows should be designed by people who’ve run real cycles.
Agency coordinators.
People who have spent years guiding families, surrogates and egg donors through every milestone, and know exactly where a journey needs support.
Engineers and designers.
A product team building the infrastructure this field deserves, so no one has to run a six-figure journey on a spreadsheet again.
“I’ve watched families wait weeks for answers that already existed, somewhere in an inbox. I’ve watched coordinators carry dozens of journeys in their heads. Journeya is what I wish we’d had all along: one place where everyone can see where things stand, so we can spend our time on the people, not the paperwork.”
What we stand for
Unapologetically revolutionary.
We’re bold about how much better this journey can be.

Committed.
To keeping this work human: connecting the people in every journey, so more families can come to be.
Trust and security
Surrogacy involves some of the most sensitive information a family will ever share: medical history, genetic information, legal and financial documents. We built Journeya so everyone can share what they need to, knowing it’s protected.
