Yousef bin Taleb is a Arab entrepreneur known in North America for founding a multi-million dollar Media company when he was only a teenager. At the age of 17 years old he founded Brotips, a media company backed by Mark Cuban and would later merge with Uproxx.

Yousef is currently based in Toronto, Canada.

Bin Taleb was born in Montreal, Quebec to Kuwait parents. As a child, he grew up in different countries around the world such as England and Morocco.

He is a dropout of Sir John A. Macdonald High School.

At the age of 12 years old, he began to save up his money and loan out to his brother and friends.

At around the same age, he also used to break information and infiltrate online games by hacking into accounts.

In between classes and bathroom breaks, he would go to the library to trade his penny stocks and do his e-trades in the schools library.

He also made deals with suppliers in Asia and brought back watches at extremely cheap rates and had sold them across the city for ridiculous margins.

He would also hack into school networks.

After getting suspended quite often, he opted to drop out.

He took the time to focus on the SEC EDGAR database which is a database by the Security and Exchange Commission that keeps record of all public company filings.

This allowed him to get better at learning about his stock portfolio.

As a teenager, bin Taleb also worked as the Product Manager intern at Intelligent Mechatronic Systems, where he worked for more than a year.

At the age of 17 years old, he started a media company called Brotips. He would then raise money from Mark Cuban. Yousef said the following in his interview:

After a few years, they were acquired by Woven Digital in September 2013 and renamed themselves Uproxx.

In August of 2018, Uproxx was sold to Warner Music Group.

Yousef lives Toronto where he continues to thrive in his Entrepreneurial pursuits.
