The CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov is offering free In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatments to women willing to use his sp3rm.
His offer is an effort to help women struggling with infertility.
Apart from offering sp3rm, Durov would also be paying for all IVF procedures through his partnership with the Altravita fertility clinic.
“We are happy to offer you a unique opportunity! Only in our clinic can you undergo IVF for free, using Pavel Durov’s sp3rm-one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time,” a message on Altravita’s website reads.
The clinic has pledged to offer top-tier care, working with some of the leading specialists in reproductive health and using state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best possible outcomes.
The process for women wishing to participate is simple but selective. Interested individuals can reach out to Altravita to schedule an initial consultation.
Earlier, in a post on Telegram, the CEO disclosed he fathered “over 100 biological kids” over 15 years.
“I was just told that I have over 100 biological kids. How is this possible for a guy who has never been married and prefers to live alone?” he wrote.
He recounted the story of how a friend first approached him for a sp3rm donation 15 years ago.
“He said that he and his wife couldn’t have kids due to a fertility issue and asked me to donate sp3rm at a clinic for them to have a baby,” said Pavel, adding that though he initially laughed it off, he realised later that his friend was serious.
Eventually, he agreed, setting in motion a series of donations that would go on to impact many families.
He wrote, “Fast forward to 2024, my past donating activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries to have kids. Moreover, many years after I stopped being a donor, at least one IVF clinic still has my frozen sp3rm available for anonymous use by families who want to have kids.”
“The shortage of healthy sp3rm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I’m proud that I did my part to help alleviate it,” Durov added.
