<h2>Ole Schou tells the story about how Cryos started:</h2>
"I&nbsp;don&rsquo;t know why I had this dream back in 1981. But for some strange reason, the moment I woke up I just knew I had to find out everything there was to know about frozen sperm. It became somewhat of an obsession and I basically read every book and paper ever written about the subject. Little did I know, that all of a sudden, I had actually become one of the leading experts in the subject without even being a scholar of natural science. 
Fortunately, I was able to combine my knowledge about frozen sperm with a Graduate Diploma in Business &amp; Administration, and gradually establish a successful commercial business. Utilising my knowledge about the process of freezing and storing human sperm, I started collaborating with doctors and clinics who were very satisfied with my work and my product. Business took off, and at first my office and laboratory were established as a service merely for frozen sperm storage. In 1990 the donor programme was established, and international demand increased rapidly.
Later on, we started specialising in the egg vitrification technology as well. This means that we are able to help even more people around the world becoming parents."
