1/ Hi, I’m Arun Philips 👋 From a small town in Kerala, a childhood filled with books in peaceful Oman, to growing Web3 communities of 500,000+ globally and consulting national governments. Here’s my journey at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and impact 🙏

Took the family to the City of Dreams to make my mum's Bombay dream come true! 🇮🇳✨ From eating the most delicious street food to an absolutely spellbinding Anoushka Shankar concert (a massive highlight for me as a fellow sitar player!) and staying at the Taj Mahal Palace. Watch the full Mumbai family vlog here: youtube.com/watch?v=dpsBsw…

We are building the Architecture of Aspiration. 🌌 Thrilled to announce that DreamStarter has secured $150,000 in early funding from an incredible community of friends, family, and angel investors. This isn't just capital; it's a shared belief that everyone has a fundamental Right to Dream. Now, it’s time to grow. 🧵👇

I've not kept the socials updated with my #BookaWeek challenge lately (will do it soon) But this one passage hit me so hard I had to share. The book is Mount Analogue by Rene Daumal. “I am dead because I have no desire, I have no desire because I think I possess, I think I possess because I do not try to give; Trying to give, we see that we have nothing, Seeing that we have nothing, we try to give ourselves, Trying to give ourselves, we see that we are nothing, Seeing that we are nothing, we desire to become, Desiring to become, we live.”

@soupsranjan @MuzafferKal_ Try taking a car to Muscat, flights are operating from there, DM me if you need a driver contact

@MuzafferKal_ Tbh I tried booking flights all over the world. It's highly unpredictable which flights go out and which ones get cancelled. My bad luck, all of them got cancelled

I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally. I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded. I expected the @usgov to do something to get US citizens out but I haven't seen any meaningful action. After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home. I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that American dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded. I have 3 requests of our government: 1. Can the @usgov ensure the commercial airlines don't cancel US bound flights? I've booked a dozen flights to leave Dubai and ALL of them got canceled, even as flights to other countries continue operating. 2. If that is not possible, can the USG organize planes, commercial or military, to evacuate Americans out of Dubai and the surrounding region? I saw a very hopeful note from the Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs which states, “the US State Dept is in touch with 3,000 Americans and that we should call 1-202-501-4444 for assistance with departure options.” But that is unfortunately not accurate. I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is: "Please don't rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time." 3. With funding cuts to the US consulates and with attacks on US embassies in the region, there’s no one that Americans can reach out to in the broader GCC region. Can we set up an emergency hotline within the US that actually works, and that has someone who is taking down more details? @SecRubio just stated that there are 1500 Americans who have contacted asking for assistance to evacuate. How did they do that because I am completely at a loss on who to call? I called up 1-202-501-4444 and all I got is a generic message. Myself and other Americans need help getting back home.

Be careful of this extremely sophisticated crypto scam doing rounds - they are able to spoof Wintermute's official website using some provider (you won't even see this via detail if it's on mobile or a different client) Stay safe and don't join random unknown call links @wmt_ventures @JO_wintermute
