James Park (entrepreneur)

Park spent a lot of time in his parents' shops and even sold products for them, and his own work ethic was influenced by their example.

[9] He studied computer science as an undergraduate at Harvard College but dropped out his junior year to pursue his own business.

[12] After Epesi folded, Park's next venture was an early concept for a photo editing and sharing platform.

He recalled the search for the right supplier and organizing the production line in Asia left the company "pretty close to being dead".

[12] Forbes estimated that Park and Friedman each made $150 million before taxes when Fitbit was acquired by Google in 2019.
