Very excited for Gameto, and especially proud of my wife @ksimm for leading this round, all while giving birth to our beautiful new daughter. Such a badass team (@DinaRadenkovic @martinvars) and an amazing group of investors backing them (@FutureJurvetson @FutureSaenko). https://t.co/tHoLxxxUgA

Thank you @SecBlinken, I'm glad you are bringing attention to what's happening in Georgia. Putin is trying to play puppet master, but Georgians are too smart for that. We need to support them. https://t.co/sqeo3S4bGM
