Elleithy launched the YOUTH App in 2024, a student benefits platform offering discounts from over 100 brands. The app serves students from more than 50 universities and is open to any student residing in Egypt, with plans to expand across the MENA region. It has also secured $20,000 in non-dilutive funding through a Gen-Z entrepreneurship show. Through YOUTH-Careers, the platform partners with universities and summits to provide mentorship sessions to students. Since its launch in August 2024, YOUTH has reached over 50,000 students across Egypt.
