Following his adult bestseller, Squibb launched an interactive children's workbook designed to help kids identify ambitions and develop entrepreneurial thinking, with profits pledged to fund dreamers.
Published by Penguin on 16 January 2025, the book drew endorsements from Richard Branson, Jay Shetty, and Ali Abdaal and has since been translated into more than 30 languages.
In November 2024 he was honoured by the Great British Entrepreneur Awards with a Hall of Fame induction, and in the same month received his Gold YouTube Creator Award for surpassing 1 million subscribers.

Simon Squibb is a UK-based serial entrepreneur turned content creator whose channel is built on a deceptively simple premise: finding ordinary people with a dream and helping them act on it, often immediately and on camera. After founding and exiting multiple businesses across two decades — including stints in Hong Kong and a portfolio of investments spanning more than 80 startups — Squibb pivoted his platform presence into a vehicle for accessible entrepreneurship education. His signature content drops him into everyday settings where he challenges strangers, funds ideas on the spot, or brokers improbable opportunities, as in the widely shared clip where he bought a restaurant for a woman who cooked him pasta. He has channelled this philosophy into HelpBnk, a startup-support platform, the beverage brand DreamBrew, and a best-selling children's business book, "What's Your Dream?". His public commitment to never selling a course — with all practical knowledge distributed free via YouTube and a newsletter — has become a core part of his brand identity.
Squibb's combined audience runs into the tens of millions across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, with TikTok delivering particularly strong engagement well above category norms. His following skews slightly female and spans a wide age bracket, with the heaviest concentration in the 25–44 range — an audience that is career-active and receptive to both aspirational and practical financial content. More than half his audience is based in the United States despite his British base, giving him meaningful transatlantic reach. His sponsor mix — including Tide, Alibaba.com, and Bitdefender — reflects brands targeting small-business owners and digitally independent consumers rather than a pure lifestyle demographic. That positioning, at the crossroads of feel-good storytelling and genuine entrepreneurship utility, distinguishes him from both traditional business educators and mainstream lifestyle creators, and suggests continued appeal to fintech, e-commerce infrastructure, and SME-facing brands looking for emotionally resonant delivery.
Simonsquibb reaches an audience concentrated in United Kingdom primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. Their sponsorship history skews toward Fintech / Entrepreneurship, Food & Beverage, Technology / Smart Home, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include Alibaba.com and .Online Domains. Engagement on YouTube runs around 4.0%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows business content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United Kingdom-focused brands in Fintech / Entrepreneurship and related categories, Simonsquibb offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Simon Squibb has publicly committed to never selling a course, stating explicitly that everything he knows goes onto his YouTube channel or into his free newsletter instead. This stance is deliberately different from most entrepreneurship creators, and it has become a defining part of his brand identity and why his audience trusts him.
Yes — one of his most widely shared videos is titled She Made Me The Best Pasta Ever, So I Bought Her A Restaurant, capturing his signature format of discovering someone's dream and funding or launching it on the spot.
