-Phil began his entrepreneurial career as co-founder of the social networking app ‘Pheed' alongside tech investor and businessman O.D. Kobo. Leading the nascent app's growth, Phil opened the 'Pheed House' on Mulholland Drive, a content creation hub for artists and tastemakers.

App. Haus was later appointed Head of U.S. Operations at Mobli and elaborated on the 'Pheed House’ model—opening ‘The Beach House’ (#moblibeachhouse) on the Venice Boardwalk—a content creation hub for a wide array of creative digital media/music production/live events.
