  Immortal until proven otherwise; I love people and create things. Currently, I'm founder and full-time volunteer at Good Party, building free tools to change the rules and disrupt the corrupt. We're creating hope through a credible plan for good indie candidates to run and win, because both Red and Blue are blah! Previously, I founded Flipagram (now TikTok), which had over 300M downloads in under 3 years, making it one of the largest and fastest growing mobile apps of all time, when it was acquired in 2017 by ByteDance, who combined it with another acquisition, Musical.ly to create TikTok. Flipagram pioneered short-form user music videos and was the first company to secure world-wide rights from all major music labels allowing anyone, anywhere to use any music they like for free in user-generated videos. You could say Flipagram saved the world from muzak in videos, while paving the way for super-popular short-video music apps like TikTok. Before that, I founded a bunch of other companies, some of which you may have heard of: 1996: Fresh out of B-school, I founded BizRate.com which became a top 50 worldwide site, and the world’s largest customer ratings site, garnering millions of customer ratings each month and helping e-commerce go mainstream -- BizRate pioneered online customer ratings and paved the way for online rating sites like Yelp, AngiesList, etc. 2000: Shopzilla, the world's largest shopping search engine, which I led through the internet bubble of 2000, to over 3Bn/yr in GMS generated / profitability and through 565m sale to EW Scripps (SSP) in 2005. 2007: I founded DotSpots to help the budding information militia spot the truth and connect the dots for everyone to address what today would be called #FAKENEWS. We were way too early... pivot! 2010: Gripe was to be a much better Better Business Bureau for the age of social media. Nope... pivot again! 2011: Cheers was to be the "like button" for the world around you, a fun, positive-only social network for people to share love and gratitude for anyone, anything, anywhere. Nope, yet another pivot... Late 2013: Flipagram: Yay, another "overnight success!"... finally! :) Beyond work, I serve on the board of the Burning Man Project, am a TEDx Patron / TED Catalyst, and a Founding Trustee of Farhang Foundation, Iranian arts and cultural non-profit which gifted the Freedom Sculpture to the city of Los Angeles on July 4th, 2017. Most importantly, I'm living happily ever after in Los Angeles with my wife Nushin, and our three kids, Noor, Alaan, and Sama (pictured above). Gifted Savings
