Timothy Armoo is a name that echoes a living force of possibility, proof that courage mixed with clarity can shake up entire industries, and a reminder to every young dreamer that greatness isn’t reserved for the privileged, it’s earned by the bold.

He wasn’t born into wealth, he didn’t have connections in high places, yet through vision and relentless effort, he carved his own path to success.

A Black entrepreneur raised in South London by Ghanaian parents, Timothy’s journey is the story of grit, genius, and a refusal to settle for the script written for him.

He started Fanbytes in university. Sold it for 8 figures at 27. And now he teaches others how to build companies with exit potential. But this is far more than a rags-to-riches tale.

It’s the story of a young Black entrepreneur who shattered ceilings and built bridges, for brands, for culture, and for his community.

Timothy’s brilliance revealed itself early. As a student at the City of London Academy, he scooped up several Outstanding Student Awards in English, Geography, and Theology.

But what truly set him apart wasn’t just his academic excellence, it was his entrepreneurial spirit.

At just 14, he launched his first company, Alpha Tutoring, helping other students succeed academically.

By 17, he’d created EntrepreneurXpress, a digital platform spotlighting young business minds. It was such a success, it got acquired by Horizon Media within a year.

While studying Computer Science at Warwick University, he spotted a massive opportunity: brands were completely out of touch with Gen Z.

They didn’t understand how young people thought, communicated, or consumed content.

So, he started Fanbytes at 21 years with his friends in the university, a social-first, influencer marketing agency designed to bridge that gap.

Launched from his university dorm, Fanbytes quickly attracted attention from major global brands like Nike, Samsung, Deliveroo, H&M, McDonald’s, Estée Lauder, and even the UK Government.

The agency helped them create authentic, viral content on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and YouTube, platforms traditional marketers often failed to master.

Under Timothy’s leadership as CEO, Fanbytes grew to over 80 staff, raised around $2 million in funding, and became one of the most respected Gen Z agencies in Europe.

At 27 he sold the company to global marketing giant Brainlabs in a life-changing 8-figure exit.

He stayed on as Vice President, Influencer Marketing, helping scale its next phase. Timothy’s work hasn’t gone unnoticed.

He was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe (Media & Marketing), won the Huffington Post Entrepreneur of the Year, The Drum’s Social Media Person of the Year, and was recognized by the Evening Standard as one of London’s Most Influential People in Advertising.

But it’s not just the accolades. It’s the impact. He’s spoken on stages alongside tech titans like Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and Sheryl Sandberg, former Facebook COO.

His keynote speeches and online content have inspired thousands of young founders and professionals worldwide.

His newsletter, CheatCodes, is a masterclass in growth, discipline, and entrepreneurial strategy, with over 400,000 readers.

Today, Timothy is more than a founder. He’s a teacher, mentor, and digital powerhouse.

With 500,000+ followers across Instagram and X (Twitter), and a loyal audience on LinkedIn, he’s become one of the most recognizable Black business voices in the UK.

His philosophy blends old-school discipline with new-age strategy, teaching that true success lies not just in virality, but in culture, conviction, and customer obsession.

He’s also vocal about building businesses with exit potential, urging young entrepreneurs not just to start something, but to build something that lasts and can be scaled or sold.

Timothy Armoo’s rise is more than inspiring, it’s revolutionary. He’s a walking testament to the power of vision, execution, and courage.

In a world where Black entrepreneurs are still underrepresented in tech and marketing leadership, Timothy didn’t just break through, he kicked the door wide open. He didn’t wait for permission.

He built his own platform, brought others up with him, and proved that young people, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, don’t need to follow the rules to win. They just need to write better ones.
