Friendster, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, was founded in by Jonathan Abrams. Abrams, a Canadian native, moved to Silicon Valley at the height of the dot-com bubble. Subsequent roles in tech at various Valley-based startups would follow. As the story goes, Abrams had the idea for Friendster after his girlfriend broke up with him.

By fall , the site had amassed close to three million users — all while still being in its beta test phase. Its growth was fueled by dozens of media publications from sources as reputable as Time Magazine, Esquire, Vanity Fair, or Entertainment Weekly. Around the same time, Friendster was also able to raise its first-ever institutional round of funding.
Abrams declined since he believed that Friendster would be worth significantly more in the future. The board, comprised of Valley legends including John Doerr or Bob Kagle, became increasingly dissatisfied with Abrams and his antics.
The entrepreneur was seen frequenting parties instead of focusing to fix the many problems that befuddled Friendster. In April , the company announced that Abrams stepped down from his role as CEO and was being replaced by Tim Koogle who had just joined its board. Koogle himself only lasted three months in his role, oftentimes not even being seen at the office. His eventual replacement became Scott M.
Sassa who previously held the role of president at NBC Entertainment. In May , less than a year after his appointment, Sassa was already being released from his duties. Furthermore, Friendster laid off 5 out of its 55 employees.
Kwon was able to at least partially stop the bleeding. Under his leadership, Friendster completely redesigned its website, copying many of the features that made Myspace so popular such as the ability to publish blog posts.
