WatchMojo was founded in 2006[lower-alpha 1] by CEO Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, Christine Voulieris, and Raphael Daigneault. Its first six years were not financially successful. It made a variety of factual brand-friendly content and made money from commissions or licensing their videos to brands such as McDonald's and Coca-Cola. In 2012, Karbasfrooshan pivoted WatchMojo's focus to YouTube and Top 10 videos. They became popular on the platform, where they have over 20,000 videos and 25 million subscribers. At one point, they were the most-subscribed Canadian channel.
