What It Takes To Grow: Founder Stories For Next Gen Powered by DHL, Paymob and DET
Dubai has one of the most ambitious startup ecosystems in the world. But most founder advice online was written somewhere else, for someone else.
This is different.
We're bringing three founders who built their businesses right here - through the cash crunches, the logistics headaches, the moments it almost didn't work - to share what actually moved the needle.
Wajdan Gul bootstrapped SQUATWOLF from a Dubai apartment into one of the fastest-growing performance wear brands in the region.
Shouk Kasemi built Milky Makers into a fast-growing lactation brand supporting hundreds of thousands of mothers with functional treats and breastfeeding support across the GCC.
Preet Vasudev went from baking in his home kitchen to 1,500 dessert orders a month in Business Bay.
They'll get into the real stuff — cash flow, scaling operations, building a brand without a massive budget, and what the Dubai market rewards right now.
