This one is a bit personal for me, as I have seen family members suffer from hearing loss.

@amano_labs is building a $20 hearing aid. The category averages $2,700. While not a replacement for the more "high-end" hearing aids, this makes hearing aids accessible, and opens the door to further innovation in a category that appears to relatively stagnant, but that affects millions.

We covered them in this week's Dhow Dispatch. Last week, their launch video made waves, even attracting the attention of @MrBeast.

The founders are also fellow Canadians: @arishs24

Full disclosure: I ordered one off the waitlist.

My future home (Austin) is coming in very strong. #5 overall, #3 in both Hardware and Healthtech. #5 in AI. Solid bones, and lots of room for expansion.

My current home, and hometown, also continues to surprise me. Miami is #3 in the FinTech ranking is both surprising and validation of the hard work of people like @saif305 that have built the ecosystem here.

Amin Abdullah.

He stood his ground so others could make it home safely.

When gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego, Amin protected the community until his final moments. Police say his actions prevented the attack from becoming far worse.

Support Amin’s family with funeral costs, immediate household needs, education for his children, and long term financial stability.

May Allah accept him amongst the martyrs and grant patience to his loved ones. 🤲

⛽️ Iran War Has Cost American Consumers Over $35 Billion in Extra Fuel Costs, Brown University Tracker Shows

American consumers have paid more than $37 billion in additional gasoline and diesel costs since the war with Iran began on February 28, according to a real-time tracker developed by Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs.

The tracker, led by researcher Jeff Colgan, compares current fuel prices against a projected pre-war baseline. The national average for gas has risen to around $4.52 per gallon, up from under $3 when the war began — with summer driving season yet to peak.

We just spoke to a founder building encryption software around this exact issue

AI changes cybersecurity by compressing cost + time needed to discover vulnerabilities

The industry shifts from static defense to continuous iteration, & speed of adaptation becomes the real moat

Dubai’s hotel occupancy projected to plunge to about 10%

It was 80% before the war.

BREAKING: Several whistleblowers say that Axios coordinated news with market insiders, leaking CME order information via phone calls up to 30 minutes before market open and close prints. Crude oil short positions were also taken just before today's Axios report on a "US-Iran deal" and "14-point deal," gaining substantially as oil dropped sharply on the news.

Iranian political analyst Mohammad Marandi also says Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, and their close associates profited heavily in the past hours from fake news provided to Axios.
