hi my name is Fahad Kaleem aka u/fahaadk_ you might recognize me from my absurd isnt that concerning podcast clips on social media.

just wanted to drop this project that I recently launched k9unit.co

its a marketplace for shooters (content creators) & brands. a shooter is someone who can brainstorm/direct/shoot/edit your content for you with a potential of it going viral on your own page.

they often get confused with influencers, but they're not. they can help you become an influencer in your niche.

you can book a tier 1 shooter for as low as 1500 AED per hour and expect to get upto 5 videos in that hour. (number of videos depend on the shoot circumstances)

happy to answer any questions, hope you find this useful :)

Hi guys!

Happy to connect ton this sub.

I just move to Dubai 1 month ago, and want to open my LLC (financial consultancy online) in Dubai.

On my research, the most effective way was doing it on Ajman for 12k including one visa.

Somebody has open it in Dubai for a better price + the visa?

I’ve been building something in the UAE that I think has the potential to become much bigger than where it started. It’s called Neighbr platform.

The idea is simple: Why buy something you only need once when someone a few doors away already owns it?

Neighbr is a live marketplace that enables people to rent everyday items, while allowing owners to generate income from assets they already have.

Since launching, what started as a very simple idea has grown into something I genuinely believe could become a new layer of how people access everyday things in this region.

We've been featured by multiple publications, interviewed across UAE radio, and are now beginning to work with established UAE institutions and communities. And all of that happened without outside capital.

Now we are at a point where we know the idea works and the traction is there, but I want to see what Neighbr can become with the right capital and the right person behind it.

I'm currently speaking with investors, and I'd particularly love to connect with UAE family offices and angel investors looking to enter the market who understand marketplaces, consumer businesses, the circular economy, or simply recognize the opportunity in building the rental category properly in this region.

I'm not looking for someone who just writes a cheque.

If that's you, or there's someone you think I should speak to, send me a DM.

Running a small WhatsApp group for founders in the UAE. One LinkedIn post each per week, and the rest of us comment on it for real. It's free, and the point is early traction without chasing engagement alone. DM me if you want in.
