Coffeemeetsbagel dawoon kang linkedinCNBC – May 4 – This story is part of the Behind the Desk series where CNBC gets personal with successful business executives to find out everything from how they got to where they are to what makes them get out of bed in the morning to their daily routines. For Dawoon Kang, co-founder of dating app Coffee Meets Bagel, entrepreneurship is in her blood. Both her parents started their own businesses in Korea. Kang emigrated from Korea to the U.S. when she was 12 with her sisters Arum and Soo. Arum had the idea to create Coffee Meets Bagel in 2011, and the following year Kang quit her job at JPMorgan to launch the app with Arum and Soo.
