Quick answers

Did Jerry Luk co-found Firework?

Yes. Firework's own about page, checked September 2026, describes the company as "the brainchild of co-founders Vincent Yang and Jerry Luk, that officially launched in 2017." The same page gives the company's address in San Mateo, California and carries a 2026 copyright notice for its operating entity, Loop Now Technologies, Inc.

What is his title at Firework today?

Firework's careers page, checked September 17, 2026, lists him as "COO & Co-Founder" alongside Vincent Yang as "CEO & Co-Founder." Published sources from a few years earlier used a different title: MarTech Series identified him as Co-Founder and President in an interview published June 23, 2022, and Digiday used the same title on May 8, 2023. Only the founder title is treated here as settled.

What did he do before Firework?

He joined LinkedIn in 2005 as one of its earliest recruits and created LinkedIn Mobile, according to the MarTech Series interview published June 23, 2022, which also covers his later work at the education company Edmodo. Global Class's episode page for its interview with him, checked September 2026, adds that he was co-founder and CTO of Presdo and head of mobile business strategy at Edmodo.

Where did he study?

UC Berkeley. Berkeley's Founders' Pledge innovator spotlight page, checked September 2026, lists him as "Jerry Luk '04" and describes him joining LinkedIn when it had roughly 30 people and leaving when it had grown to about 1,200. That page also refers to him as co-founder and COO of Loop, the entity that operates Firework.
