Back in September I posted about Brotips, a website that belongs to a young 16 year old Kuwaiti called Yousef Khraibut. Well Yousef emailed me awhile ago telling me Mark Cuban has invested in Brotips! How cool is that?! Mark Cuban if you don’t know is a business magnate and investor who also owns the NBA team Dallas Mavericks. That’s pretty freaking cool! Here is a link to an article on this deal at FastCompany.

Bader Khraibu? Khraibut*
Yousef*
yup you’re right, fixing it now
sweet
Just a slight bro tip for you Mark,
I’m pretty sure its ‘Magnate’ and not ‘Magnet’.
lol
so why is the Basir guy more cited (as if he started it) and more credited in the article than Yousef?
So from the whole story that’s what interested you?
The real million-dollar question is what will you do to put Kuwait on the map and build your empire?
it’s funny how people comment on 248am Mark. whenever there is a story about a kuwaiti (citizen of expat) doing something incredible you barely see any comments. But when it comes to meaningless fights or car accidents insults are whirled from all directions.
tell me about it. when the guy emailed me and told me i was like ecstatic and so excited for him. So i’m surprised no one here cares.
Brotips is a success and they’re not selling cupcakes!
People are just more likely to discuss controversial topics. If you’re happy for someone you stay quiet, if you’re angry at someone you make a big deal. It’s why the internet is such an angry place lol
To be fair, I’ve never heard of brotips or mark cuban, and I don’t think many people posting here have either.
Site made my day ! Love it !
Great site. I can already see the spinoff possibilities… mugs, tshirts, non fiction bestseller, sitcom, romantic comedy…
Almost as good (and witty) as the site itself was the article you linked Mark.
Mabrook Yousuf Khraibut..!
Keep it up, Bro 🙂
Mark, I’ve been looking all over the web for the past half hour and cant find a credible source that points to yousef being the creator, do you have a link where I can read anything about him
Thanks
YES! :s there’s nothing about him
Nvm I spoke too soon I just found it.
This kuwaiti guy is cool and i hope his site turns into facebook
..or twitter
Alif mabrooooook
finally we kuwaitis are being regonized!!
Thanks so much for all your hard work
Very impressive, and he’s only 16? mashallaa!
Mark, in this article it says that the website is “Built by Toronto-based Push Pull Labs” and “To drive awareness, the 11-person Brotips team will be setting up a campus rep program.” They don’t mention the Kuwaiti guy at all..

They r 11 now, they were 2 originally
The kuwaiti guy owns the website and runs the show he is quoted on other sites many times.
TOLD YA MARK ;P !!
I think it is an incredible achievment by a Kuwaiti, a 16 yr old no less. This was an original concept, and obviously a great idea as it is very successful.
I agree people should stop only commenting when they’re hating on things and actually give credit when credit is due. Also, people should use this as an inspiration to come up with their own original concepts instead of copying everyone else and doing the same thing over and over.

mark cuban paid 10 millions for the deal !
