Founder of multimillion-dollar, multi-platform comedy entertainment brand Fuckjerry, Elliot Tebele is a successful entrepreneur who has also co-founded the highly popular gaming enterprise What Do You Meme?® and the fan-favorite spirits brand, JAJA Tequila (pronounced “HA HA”).

Elliot’s digital media career began unexpectedly in the early 2010s. After launching a Tumblr profile he dubbed Fuckjerry (in honor of stand-up comedian and TV star Jerry Seinfeld), Elliot found he had a knack for curating relatable and hilarious content. In fact, his own Instagram account has grown to over 132,000 followers.

Although it started as a hobby, Fuckjerry quickly gained traction on Tumblr and became a near-instant sensation after the brand was moved to Instagram in 2011. The Fuckjerry Instagram account has grown to nearly 17 million followers since its initial launch. This success led Elliot to form what is now known as the enterprise FJerryLLC. The business currently holds a network of Instagram accounts with a total following of approximately 40 million. Under Elliot’s leadership and the Fjerry umbrella, accounts like @DudeWithASign, @Pizza and @BeigeCardiian have found massive success. In addition to the growth of these accounts, Elliot’s success has allowed him to collaborate with major corporations like Express, General Mills and Subway among others.

Showcasing these achievements, Elliot has been featured in many news and media publications including ABC, Coveteur, Dujour and Forbes. 

Today, Elliot and his team at Fuckjerry are diligent in their pursuit of finding and sharing high-quality, relatable content with the brand’s audiences. The company was even awarded the Shorty Industry Award for Best Use of Native Advertising in recognition of its advertising and brand impact. Following the establishment of FJerryLLC, Elliot began to develop the now well-known card game What Do You Meme? alongside co-founders Ben Kaplin and Elie Ballas. Originally started as a kickstarter campaign, the game quickly exceeded its funding and eventually evolved into what is now known as What Do You Meme?®, a multimillion-dollar gaming enterprise. The company has expanded over the last several years to include the production of other best-selling games, greeting cards, plush toys and outdoor toys for audiences of all ages.

With Fuckjerry and What Do You Meme?® both thriving in 2018, Elliot joined together with his brother Maurice Tebele and childhood friend Martin Hoffstein to create a line of specialty tequila products under the name JAJA Tequila. This small-batch tequila company was established with one goal in mind: to create a high-quality product that celebrates friendship, laughter and tequila. Investors and co-founders Drew Taggart and Alex Pall (of The Chainsmokers) largely inspired the company’s commitment to free-spiritedness. 

In 2015, Tebele married Instagram influencer and personal stylist, Jessica Anteby. The couple has two children together and have been focussing their more recent efforts on philanthropy. Giving back to his community is important to Elliot, and is something he pursues on both a personal level and through his businesses. Some of these philanthropic efforts include:
