[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

Back in UAE after just four years - has it been forty years???

[H @karakcapital]

Woke: Moving to Dubai for almost 100% sunshine.
Bespoke: Moving to Dubai for literally the best food joints on the planet.

[Superteam UAE @SuperteamAE]

You're the average of the 5 people around you
Make sure they're the right ones
Come to Dubai

[MATT GRAY @matt_gray_]

My goal in life: visit all 195 countries in the world before I die.

But after going to 100+ cities in the last 8 years, 1 place has BLOWN all the others out of the water.

Here’s why this city is perfect for high-value founders who want to build their empires:

[Alex Scott @afscott]

As a Dubai maxi, I love that we are one of four Hacker House locations in 2024

Can’t wait to see you all soon 🇦🇪

[Shweta Scott 🌻🌱 @theshwetshow]

I’ve always had imposter syndrome, but jumping from comfortable career to entrepreneurship made it 10x worse.

My Book of Wins saved me:

While I was a PM at Amazon, I started writing down 3 wins per week in a notebook. Every month, I re-read them. Reading cold, hard data about my own victories helps me put my self doubt to rest.

Without these wins, I wouldn’t have had the courage to bet on myself. Looking back over the last year of building @themidorico, I’m glad I did.

December was my last month at @_buildspace

I couldn't be more grateful to the team and our community for an adventure of a lifetime. ❤️💙💛💚

buildspace in my opinion is the most innovative education product in the world.

I've never seen a program and community that measurably increases motivation, resolve and excitement around pursuing one's own ideas like buildspace does.

Let alone for 10,000s of people concurrently from over 100+ countries... on the internet!!

I met some of the most promising builders, hackers, founders, artists and musicians starting their path to greatness. I can't wait to see where they'll be in a year, many are already taking off.

I'm beyond excited to see all the new dreams the team brings to life and will continue to be buildspace's number 1 fan!!

I was planning on taking a sabbatical.. but feels like it's a good time to get back in the arena. More on that soon.

So today, I'm going to listen to some Porter Robinson, and ship an app to @_nightsweekends s5.

Who knows.. maybe it'll help me get started on my next big idea. See y'all so very soon!

[d00bai @d00bai]

RT @afscott: I've coached 450+ Saudi Arabian startup founders w/ @McitGovSa over the past 2 months.

Heres' why I'm bullish on Saudi tech…

[Farhaj Mayan @farhaj]

@thisisneer @d00bai @lifeoftheshat Had an epic lunch with @kwok_phil & @dom_kwok who are building the worlds best school & community for web3 devs. 750k+ users rn! (+ me)

[Farhaj Mayan @farhaj]

@thisisneer Made a quick pitstop by Regent’s Park with a fellow @d00bai member @lifeoftheshat

[d00bai @d00bai]

@kwok_phil @COP28_UAE @easya_app See you soon 🫡

[Phil Kwok | EasyA @kwok_phil]

Heading to Dubai shortly for @COP28_UAE, representing Cambridge University in the Futures of Education delegation. 🛫

I’m honoured to be bearing the flag of education, and to be sharing everything we've learnt @EasyA_App bringing 800k people into Web3!

See you soon, Dubai! 🇦🇪
