Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, is offering women struggling with infertility a unique opportunity: free In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments using his sperm.
Durov’s initiative is a bold and unconventional move aimed at addressing the global shortage of sperm donations and helping women who face challenges in conceiving.
In partnership with the Altravita fertility clinic, Durov is covering the full cost of IVF procedures for women who wish to use his sperm.
The clinic, known for its cutting-edge reproductive health services, has announced that it will offer top-tier care, with the support of leading specialists and state-of-the-art technology to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy.

On the Altravita website, a message reads, “We are happy to offer you a unique opportunity! Only in our clinic can you undergo IVF for free, using Pavel Durov’s sperm—one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time.”
For women interested in participating, the process is simple but selective. They can reach out to Altravita to schedule an initial consultation.
Durov’s offer, while unusual, has gained attention due to the CEO’s previously disclosed personal experiences with sperm donation.
In a post on Telegram, Durov revealed that he has fathered “over 100 biological kids” over the past 15 years through his sperm donations.
He recounted the story of how he initially laughed off a request from a friend who struggled with infertility, but later agreed to help.
“Fast forward to 2024, my past donating activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries to have kids,” Durov wrote.

He also mentioned that even after stopping his donations, at least one IVF clinic continues to offer his frozen sperm to families.
Durov is proud of his contribution to addressing the worldwide shortage of healthy sperm, saying, “The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I’m proud that I did my part to help alleviate it.”
