Just signed our first major UAE distribution deal — LuLu Group, 200 outlets by Q4 2026. Three years of trying. Alhamdulillah. Huge thank you to @waqas-mohammad and the SMBF UAE 2025 cohort — none of this happens without that delegation.

Reached 38,000 monthly active families today — across 18 countries. Bootstrapped to here on zero marketing spend. The Muslim diaspora is starved for content that isn't either too religious or too secular. There's a real product gap here.
