Your blood has real value

Compensation depends on study requirements. Rare blood types and specific health profiles command higher payouts.

First Sample

Your welcome donation builds your donor profile. Quick, easy, and you get paid just for showing up.

$50–$500
Per Study Match

Subsequent donations are matched to specific studies. Rarer blood types and condition-specific profiles earn more.

Profile Appreciates

Your data gets more valuable over time. Longitudinal studies pay premiums for donors with consistent history.

Referral Bonus

Invite a friend to Genei. When they complete their first donation, you both get $20.

The sicker you are, the more you get paid

Researchers don't just need healthy blood. They need samples from people with specific conditions, rare diseases, and unique genetic markers. That makes your biology worth more, not less.

Standard Donor
$20–$75

Healthy donor, common blood type. Your baseline sample still has value for control groups and general research.

Uncommon Profile
$75–$200

Rare blood type (AB-, B-), specific demographic, or family history of conditions researchers are studying.

High-Demand Condition
$200–$500+

Diagnosed autoimmune disorder, rare genetic condition, cancer survivor, chronic disease. Studies desperately need your samples and will pay accordingly.

Your First Donation Unlocks Your Donor Score

Everyone should donate at least once.

Your first $20 sample isn't just a donation — it's a discovery. We analyze your blood type, markers, and health profile to assign your Donor Tier. The rarer your profile, the higher your tier, and the more you get paid for every future donation.

Standard
$20–$50/sample
Silver
$50–$125/sample
Gold
$125–$300/sample
Platinum
$300–$500/sample
Diamond Donor
$650/sample

You won't know your tier until you donate. That first $20 sample could be worth a lot more than you think.

Hospitals are already selling your samples

Every time you have surgery, a biopsy, or a blood draw at a hospital, leftover tissue and blood samples are classified as "medical waste." Here's what actually happens to them.

This is where your samples go after surgery.
You get nothing.
1

You have a procedure

Surgery, biopsy, routine blood work — any time biological material is removed from your body.

2

"Discarded" as medical waste

Your leftover tissue and blood are classified as waste. You sign a consent form buried in your admission paperwork that allows the hospital to "dispose" of it.

3

Sold to research companies

Hospitals and biobanks sell those "discarded" samples to pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and research labs for $50 to $10,000+ per specimen depending on rarity and condition.

4

You get $0

The hospital profits. The biobank profits. The research company profits. You — the person whose body produced the sample — get nothing.

The old way
$0 to you

Hospitals sell your "waste" samples for profit. You never know. You never get paid.

vs
The Genei way
$20–$500 to you

You choose to donate. You know exactly who gets your samples. And you get paid every single time.

This actually matters

Biomedical research runs on human samples. Without donors, breakthroughs don't happen. Your blood could be the missing piece.
