In an effort to have an even bigger impact, Young On Top has invested in Hipwee, an informative, inspiring and entertaining online media for young people.

“Kejora Capital welcomes the presence of YOT to strengthening the brand and developing Hipwee in the future. Hopefully the YOT, Kejora, and Hipwee ecosystems will be able to have an even greater positive impact on Indonesian youth”, said Andy Zain, Co-founder & Managing Partner of Kejora Capital which is Hipwee’s investor.

With his experience, Alexander, who was appointed to become Hipwee’s Chief Brand Officer, is expected to be able to make a positive contribution so that Hipwee can grow even bigger and benefit all Indonesia’s young generations.
