Admirable lo de Martín Varsavsky señores y señoras.
De pie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yo lo vi hacer ésta empresa desde sus comienzos (hace muy poco por cierto). Y también vi como está armando su séptimo unicornio y a la vez de criar 7 hijos, y mantener una vida muy saludable y ordenada.
Gameto, mi sexto unicornio, acaba de ser comprado por Ferring por 1.380 millones de dólares
En 2020 hice una donación a la Universidad de Harvard para crear una beca con el nombre de mi padre, Carlos M. Varsavsky, en el laboratorio de George Church, uno de los grandes genetistas del mundo. La beca tenía un solo objetivo: fabricar óvulos humanos en el laboratorio. De ahí salió Gameto.
Mi padre era astrofísico y creó el Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía. Era un gran profesor, en la universidad y en casa. En una época sin inteligencia artificial, él era la inteligencia artificial para mí: sabía de todo, era la enciclopedia de la familia. Murió joven. La beca lleva su nombre.
Ferring Pharmaceuticals, la farmacéutica suiza especializada en fertilidad, compra Gameto por hasta 1.382,5 millones de dólares. Soy cofundador de Gameto, y esta es la historia de una empresa que nació para hacer una cosa y fue comprada por otra.
Llegué a la fertilidad en 2016 con Prelude Fertility, una red de clínicas de fertilidad en Estados Unidos que monté y que después pasó a formar parte de Inception, hoy la mayor red de clínicas de fertilidad de Norteamérica.
Dentro de esas clínicas aprendí algo que las tasas de éxito no cuentan. La fecundación in vitro (FIV) funciona, pero es brutal. Durante unas dos semanas la mujer se inyecta hormonas para que sus ovarios liberen muchos óvulos a la vez. Eso son unos veintiocho pinchazos, varias ecografías, análisis de sangre, hinchazón y cambios de humor.
Muchas mujeres pasan por eso una vez y no quieren volver a pasar. Cada una que lo deja es un embarazo que nunca llega. Me obsesioné con una pregunta: ¿y si el tratamiento durara tres días en vez de dos semanas?
En 2020, el año de la beca, arrancamos Gameto con unos 3 millones de dólares de amigos y de otros emprendedores, entre ellos Brian Armstrong, el fundador de Coinbase; Jack Abraham, creador de Atomic, un estudio que monta empresas desde cero; y Shervin Pishevar, uno de los primeros inversores de Uber. Fabricar un óvulo resultó enormemente difícil. Nadie en el mundo lo ha conseguido todavía. Pero por el camino hacia el óvulo encontramos algo más útil para las mujeres que están hoy en tratamiento.
La beca pagó el doctorado de Christian Kramme, un genetista californiano que descubrió cómo fabricar en el laboratorio las células que rodean al óvulo dentro del ovario y lo ayudan a madurar. Hoy es el director científico de Gameto.
En 2021 incorporé a Dina Radenkovic Turner como cofundadora y consejera delegada. Tenía 26 años, era médica formada en el University College de Londres, había competido en olimpiadas de matemáticas en su Serbia natal, y es una de las personas más brillantes con las que he trabajado en mi vida. Mucha gente cuestionó que pusiera a alguien tan joven al frente de una empresa de biotecnología. El tiempo nos dio la razón. Lo que tenía era un objetivo casi imposible, fabricar un óvulo humano en el laboratorio, y una beca en Harvard. Dina convirtió eso en una empresa. Miró las células de Christian y vio un producto: si el óvulo todavía quedaba lejos, haríamos en el laboratorio el trabajo del ovario. Eso es Fertilo.
Con Fertilo, la mujer se pone hormonas solo dos o tres días, alrededor de un 80% menos de pinchazos. Sus óvulos se extraen todavía inmaduros y pasan un día en el laboratorio junto a esas células, que hacen el trabajo del ovario. Una vez maduros, se fecundan como en cualquier ciclo de FIV. Las células nunca entran en su cuerpo.
El 16 de diciembre de 2024 nació en Lima el primer bebé concebido así. En agosto de este año ya eran cinco bebés y más de veinte embarazos.
Una mujer que termina un tratamiento de tres días está mucho más dispuesta a volver a por un segundo ciclo, y a por un tercero. Tres ciclos suaves valen más que un ciclo brutal que nadie quiere repetir.
Con la compra de Ferring, Gameto es la sexta empresa que he construido que supera los mil millones de dólares, después de Viatel, Jazztel, Ya.com, Eolia Renovables, que vendimos en 2017, e Inception Fertility, que absorbió a Prelude. Telecomunicaciones, internet, energías limpias, clínicas de fertilidad y ahora biotecnología. Son sectores que no tienen nada en común, y en todos aprendí lo mismo: lo que más importa es el equipo.
Mi idea original, fabricar un óvulo humano en el laboratorio, todavía no ha funcionado. Lo que vale hasta 1.382,5 millones de dólares apareció por el camino, y lo vimos a tiempo.
Gracias a Dina, a Christian y a todo el equipo de Gameto.

6 years ago I left Lebanon for a normal life with my family in Amsterdam. Today, the terrorist party that destroyed my country and drove me out is glorified on Dam Square.
How is this acceptable in the Netherlands? The suicidal empathy of the European Left makes me sick!

As a Muslim Arab, I am disgusted and heartbroken by what I saw across Western cities on October 7, 2026: people celebrating the October 7, 2023 massacre. Glorifying the murder, rape, and kidnapping of civilians is morally bankrupt, inhumane, and a disgrace to humanity. This wasn’t an ISIS or Al-Qaeda camp. This was in Western cities: people openly celebrating a massacre carried out by the filthy Muslim Brotherhood terrorists of Hamas against Jewish children, women, and civilians from all around the world in Israel. Utterly shameful.
How did we reach a point where this needs to be explained? An eight-month-old baby was kidnapped. Women were raped. Children were murdered. Families were slaughtered. Human beings were dragged from their homes.
No cause justifies this.
No country justifies this.
No grievance justifies this.
Nothing justifies raping a woman. Nothing justifies kidnapping a baby. Nothing justifies murdering innocent people.
And to see people in Western cities celebrating, glorifying, excusing, romanticising, or sanitising this horror in the name of “democracy” and “freedom of speech” is beyond disgusting.
It is morally bankrupt. Shameful. Depraved. Inhumane. Heartless. Indefensible.
What breaks my heart most is that we are even having this conversation.
When did rape require a political explanation?
When did kidnapping babies become something to celebrate?
When did massacring Jews become something people could cheer for in the streets and still pretend they were standing for humanity?
There is nothing progressive about celebrating barbarity. There is nothing courageous about glorifying terrorism. There is nothing democratic about cheering a massacre.
This is not humanity. This is a moral disgrace.
And the fact that anyone can celebrate such suffering should make every decent human being, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or otherwise, feel both heartbroken and furious.

One year ago today, on October 9, 2025, we reached an agreement on President Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza many believed impossible.
After two years of devastating war, the agreement created a path to reunite hostage families with their loved ones, bring security to Israel, relieve the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza, and build a different future for the region.
One year later, it’s remarkable how much has changed. The situation is far from perfect, but the progress is real, and the world is better for it.
A look at the past year:
✅October 9, 2025: Hamas accepts President Trump’s 20-point peace plan, launching a ceasefire that has largely endured for a year.
✅October 12, 2025: Israeli forces complete first withdrawal to the agreed yellow line.
✅October 13, 2025: All 20 living Israeli hostages return home. Something many believed would never happen.
✅November 17, 2025: UN Security Council passes Resolution 2803, endorsing the peace plan and authorizing an international stabilization framework and the Board of Peace.
✅January 5, 2026: UN reports 100% of basic food needs being met in Gaza for the first time since 2023.
✅January 17, 2026: National Committee for the Administration of Gaza established, creating a Palestinian technocratic administration focused on restoring essential services and rebuilding Gaza.
✅January 26, 2026: Remains of the final deceased hostage returned. For the first time since 2014, no Israeli hostages, living or deceased, in Gaza.
✅February 19, 2026: The Board of Peace holds its inaugural meeting, hosted by Chairman President Trump. Landmark partnership with FIFA announced, including a $50 million commitment toward a football stadium, academy, and facilities for Gaza’s children, and billions of dollars in commitments for the people of Gaza.
✅May 2, 2026: UN reports that humanitarian aid entering Gaza had increased by 72% compared with before the ceasefire.
✅July 31, 2026: Hamas signs an actionable, step-by-step framework for decommissioning its weapons, developed with the support of Nickolay Mladenov and mediators from Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, and the United States. Implementation remains a critical next step.
✅2026: Five nations commit forces toward the International Stabilization Force, with several more working on logistics for deployment this fall.
✅September 23, 2026: Board of Peace hosts an open meeting on the sidelines of UNGA releasing the next steps in the Gaza recovery plan.
A year ago, so much of this seemed impossible.
First, many doubted we could reach an agreement. Then came the harder question of whether the parties would honor their commitments. Over the past year, we have seen what can be achieved when people with profound differences find ways to work together toward a common objective.
Steve Witkoff @SEPeaceMissions and I are grateful to @POTUS Trump for his leadership, @VP, @SecRubio, the Board of Peace team, led by @TB, @nmladenov, @lightstonea, @AliShaathNCAG, Gen. Jasper Jeffers, Liran Tanchman, Yakir Gabay, Josh Greunbaum, Josh Halpern and many others, and our partners in Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Bahrain, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco and Israel. Special thanks to Sheikh Mohammed, Ali Al-Thwadi, Hakan Fidan, General Hasan, Bader Abdulhamdi, @mikeeisenberg, and @AmbDermer. I’m also grateful to the many talented people who have volunteered their time and energy because they believe that the horrors of October 7 and the suffering in Gaza must never happen again.
There is still hard work ahead. Disarmament must be implemented, security established, essential services restored, and communities rebuilt. None of this will be easy. But we have a thoughtful plan, committed partners, and a path forward that did not exist a year ago.
It’s worth recognizing how far we’ve come, even as we acknowledge how much remains to be done.
Hopefully, the year ahead will bring even more progress, and a few more miracles.

Caring about Palestinians is one thing. Cheering the slaughter of more than a thousand innocent civilians, and marching in support of the terrorist group that did it on the anniversary, is another. That’s a brainwashed death cult. In America and Europe…

For me, this is the worst video from Oct 7.
How the first little girl seemingly disappears in a cloud of her own tissue; how the second little girl cowers. What was she thinking in those final moments.
It’s why I don’t forget the savagery.
