Meet Our Founder and CEO and learn a little about his journey
Yousef Elhariry is a systems thinker disguised as a marketer. His journey didn’t start in a boardroom or a startup incubator—it started with a cracked laptop at age 10, reverse-engineering how value moved on the internet. He wasn’t chasing freedom or riches. He was chasing clarity. Every product he built, every experiment he launched, every failure he studied was about answering a single question: “What actually works—and why?” By 17, he had scaled his agency past seven figures in profit, not by playing louder, but by playing smarter. His leverage wasn’t volume. It was insight.

404Apollo was born as a rebellion. A rebellion against templated offers, fake authority, and businesses addicted to attention with no substance underneath. Yousef saw the same pattern over and over again: talented founders buried under complexity, trapped in performance loops, trying to optimize businesses that were fundamentally misaligned with who they were. He built 404Apollo to do the opposite—to strip everything down to the signal, rebuild from identity, and scale from essence. The agency became a sanctuary for those who refused to be another SMMA, SaaS, eCom clone. Those who wanted to build category—not campaigns.
