@kushagra_agr @samudaixyz 👋 yes please!

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

As @AlphaCaptureXYZ, @cynanrhodes and I were lucky enough to be part of @Hadronfc's first cohort in Dubai. We couldn't recommend it highly enough. There is still time to apply for the NY cohort starting next week. Link in thread below.

[Hadron Founders Club @Hadronfc]

✅ 7 days of sitting through panels, indulging in DApp Dosas and experiencing one of the harshest weather conditions the city has seen.

We're bringing it all back (local OGs, open-house sessions, not the rain)

🔗 The application for the NYC Cohort is live: https://t.co/iIOGYmxTpK

A week long programme with no-filter firesides, founders' outings and a few surprises :)

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

Join us at 16.00 today (Central European Summer Time) for @Buidlso's Spaces with us @AlphaCaptureXYZ, @Web3Ayush, @maeveknowsnfts, @Lorefy_io, @BukProtocol, @IQLabs_official, @dnikolaros and @0x_rsc.

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

@IsraaHusain My pleasure. We headed out much earlier, as had no idea if it would be difficult or not, and were surprised how ok it was. Hope your trip goes smoothly!

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

@IsraaHusain Not sure, sorry, but our taxi driver used Waze and followed any diversions through that.

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

@IsraaHusain Our flight was then rescheduled to tuday, but getting here was fine!

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

@IsraaHusain We came to Sharjah last night from Dubai, got here at 12.30am. Took an hour. Most roads are clear. Some sections are still flooded - lots of water - but they are small sections and traffic could get through by going into a couple of lanes. Some roads blocked and re-routed.

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

We've loved being part of the first @Hadronfc cohort @AlphaCaptureXYZ, @CynanRhodes. Thanks for a fantastic week!

When you get rain, make videos.

[AlphaCapture Protocol @AlphaCaptureXYZ]

A wet and wild day in Dubai today, and the #token2049 events we were going to were cancelled. So we got busy adding a little video to explain what we're up to: https://t.co/SVgoMdM3cr

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

@Hadronfc 👋🏼 Really looking forward to it!

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

@0x_rsc @abhixh @JoinClamp We're looking forward to it too.

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

Really enjoyed listening to the first crypto edition of The Strategy Podcast with @0x_rsc and @abhixh of @JoinClamp.

Lots of great insights and positive energy. ‘Crypto is a cult…everyone is welcoming….everyone finds a home in crypto.’

[Rohit Chauhan @degenrsc]

Somebody asked me the other day

Rohit, what makes you get out of the bed every morning

My answer, it's having the rare fortune of working with founders like @abhixh who're working tirelessly to solve the pain points limiting crypto's mass adoption

I am truly blessed to have dozens of such founders at #polygonvillage who're bringing new and innovative solutions to the market, and I have the privilege of playing a small role in their success

It was super fun to record the inaugural crypto edition series of the 'founder talks' at The Strategy Podcast with Abhishek

Abishek is the founder of @JoinClamp and is one of the 6 teams selected for the Polygon Village Build Ideas Grants Program

We spoke on a range of issues from the impending bull market to the role of ecosystems, and programs like Polygon Village in supporting the next generation of founders

@NWischoff Makes me think of a super smart German guy I worked with years ago who said, 'I find it so rude when people speak really slowly, they have no respect for my time.'

[Louise Courtman @louisecourtman]

Every point @IOFundOfficial and @Beth_Kindig make is so clear and should be so glaringly obvious to the whole retail investing industry.

[AlphaCapture Protocol @AlphaCaptureXYZ]

So many important points put perfectly by @IOFundOfficial and @Beth_Kindig in their newsletter yesterday on ‘The Importance of Verified Returns and Risk Management for Retail Investors’.

It’s like listening to our own words on why we’ve built Alpha Capture Protocol...
