🥹Viral Kid Visits Dubai, Eid Weekend Plans & AED170 Karak ☕️

In partnership with

The GTM bets that shouldn't have worked, and did

One grew revenue 50x after half his team quit over the strategy. One brought in 50K signups in a single day with no paid budget. One generated 100M+ views from a stunt that took 50 hours to conceive. One asked every prospect to demo the product themselves instead of demoing it for them.

None of them followed the safe playbook. They treated GTM like an experiment, moved before they had proof, and made bets most founders would never get approved.

HubSpot for Startups documented all 6 stories in the free Bold Bets Playbook. The risks they took, why it was risky, and what it returned.

SOOOO MANY fun stuff lined up for Eid in Dubai this time… But more importantly, we wanna know what’s your plan for the long weekend? 👀

‘Thank you, Sheikh Hamdan’: Kenyan Kid’s Dubai Dream Comes To Life After Viral Video

  • Remember the little boy who went viral last month for wanting to visit “planet Dubai?” If you remember further, Sheikh Hamdan had shared the video saying “It will make me very happy to see you in Dubai. Hopefully, very soon”

  • Well, the day’s finally here and little Milan from Kenya officially made it to ‘planet’ Dubai! Thanks to the viral video (and a little help from the crown prince), Milan and his family just had the dreamiest Dubai trip.

  • In a video shared by the Crown Prince himself, Milan is seen touring around the towering Burj Khalifa (because where else do you start?), wide-eyed and fully soaking in the moment.

  • Milan explored everything from the lush indoor jungle at Green Planet to the icy magic of Ski Dubai, where he even got up close with penguins. He watched dolphins leap through the air at Atlantis Aquaventure and wandered through some of the city’s most iconic attractions like a tiny tourist on a mission.

  • There are clips of him holding a butterfly, spinning around like the flower displays at Miracle Garden, and even attempting to outsmart a Turkish ice cream vendor.

  • It got us all wanting more of Milan’s Dubai trip stories.
