Yousuf Nabi, Kashmiri-American Entrepreneur and GothamIP CEO, Releases "Started With Nothing"

CHINO HILLS, Calif. - September 4, 2026 - ANewswire - Yousuf Nabi, the Kashmiri-American entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of GothamIP, Inc., and professional race car driver, has released Started With Nothing, Yousuf Nabi: Twenty years in uniform. Six companies. A Ferrari on a racetrack, a first-person account of the road that carried him from Kashmir to the leadership of a diversified American business portfolio. The book is available now on Amazon Kindle.

Started With Nothing adapts a long-form interview Nabi gave on The Wheeler Burst podcast into a thirteen-chapter narrative spanning immigration, military service, law enforcement, business ownership, and professional motorsport. It is written for readers who are starting without capital, contacts, or a blueprint.

"I didn't start with money or a network. I started with a willingness to do the work nobody else wanted," said Yousuf Nabi, founder and CEO of GothamIP, Inc. "This book is for the person who is standing at that same starting line right now."

From Kashmir to California
Born in Kashmir in 1981 and now based in California, Nabi has built more than two decades of operational leadership. He is a disabled U.S. Army veteran and a former law enforcement officer. He holds several consumer affairs licenses, including a private investigator license and a Bail Agent License, and currently oversees more than 250 employees across four states. His operating companies generate approximately $100 million in annual revenue.

A Multi-Industry Portfolio
Founded in 2014, GothamIP, Inc. operates across outsourcing solutions, insurance and bonding, investigations, real estate and construction, quick-serve restaurants and bakeries, and motorsport ventures. The company runs operations in North America and Southeast Asia and continues to grow through acquisitions and new ventures.

Its regulated services arm, Gotham Bail Bonds (California Department of Insurance License #1L31568), was established in 2016 and is known for its 1% down payment program and non-renewable premium structure. The company's outsourcing division connects U.S. businesses with vetted global professionals across ten service lines-from AI and machine learning to accounting, customer support, and virtual assistance-handling sourcing, screening, onboarding, payroll, and compliance end to end.

Racing With Purpose
Nabi is also the founder of Gotham Motorsports, a registered nonprofit racing organization that competes in Ferrari machinery and reinvests its platform into youth programming. He holds professional racing licenses across IMSA, SCCA Pro, Trans Am, NASA, FIA, SRO, and International GT.

Away from the grid, Gotham Motorsports runs a STEM learning program, hospital visits, school outreach, and community race-car experiences, with 100% of donations directed to children's programming.

About "Started With Nothing"
Started With Nothing is organized into four parts across thirteen chapters, tracing the decisions, failures, and turning points behind a business career built from zero. The book is available on Amazon.
