Launched in February 2006, HipMojo.com sits at the crossroads of Main Street, Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Madison Avenue and offers commentary, analysis and observations from the vantage point of an industry executive.
A Mojo Supreme property, HipMojo.com is a part of the BloggerMojo.com network and covers the world wide web in general with a focus on online video, online advertising and the search engine industry. It also covers the broader high technology industry, mobile sector and related happenings pertaining to intellectual property and legal matters.
From startups to publicly traded companies and privately held entities, HipMojo.com’s extensive coverage has grown rapidly and is now read by prominent venture capitalists, members of the media and entrepreneurs alike (click here for more on our readership, recent media mentions and press pickups).
The following, admittedly, is blatant self-promotion, watered down by the use of the 3rd person: HipMojo.com was launched by Mojo Supreme President Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, whose previous experiences include working in the search engine and online publishing industries in the areas of sales, mergers and acquisitions, strategic development and customer acquisition. He can be reached at ash@mojosupreme.com, ash@ashkan.ca or via Facebook and LinkedIn.
Ash has the distinction of having been published on the three largest portals in the world: Yahoo!, MSN and AOL.
Other media properties and technology assets within Mojo Supreme include:
- MetaMojo.com: Vertical Search and Video Meta Search
- StreetMojo.com: Matching Communities According to Interests
- WatchMojo.com: One of the largest producers, publishers and syndicators of original video content for wireless, web and out of home digital networks with 4,000+ original, informative and entertaining clips.

Previously, he worked for a publicly traded search engine, which today trades on the Nasdaq with a market capitalization of $75M.

He wrote his first book Course To Success: Everything You Need to Succeed Beyond School in January 2002 (published in September 2002) and his second book, The Confessions of Alexander the Great: 33 Lessons in Greatness in July 2004 (published in November 2004) and holds a degree in Finance.
When he’s not busy building the Mojo Supreme network, he’s conducting fake interviews, pretending to be a lawyer and investigating discriminatory hiring practices. In his spare time, he’s investing in the stock market, advising startups and working on his next book: Context is King, which incidentally became the foundation of Mojo Supreme…
