Nexus Membership
Welcome to the Nexus Membership Page!
Nexus is more than a forum — it is a movement. We are a next-generation Silicon Valley community exploring AI’s profound impact on technology, economy, society, ethics, and humanity — and translating that exploration into real-world action.
Our community brings together technologists, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders united by a common conviction: AI must advance human flourishing, not diminish it.
Becoming a Nexus member means joining a vibrant network where bold ideas meet purposeful collaboration.
Become a Nexus Member
To become a Nexus member, simply:
- Qualify by attending any single Nexus event — whether in person or remotely via our live broadcast. This includes Nexus forums, partner co-hosted events (e.g., KIC × Nexus, Consulate General × Nexus), and any event where Nexus participates as a guest organization. They all count! Already a K-PAI member? You’re automatically qualified!
- Join our Nexus KakaoTalk Team Chat Room and get approved by Sunghee Yun — that’s it, you’re in!
Welcome to an exclusive network of professionals and leaders across AI, technology, investment, policy, and academia.
Our Three Pillars
Everything we do is guided by three core commitments:
Explore & Lead — We host world-class forums, launch initiatives like the AI & Humanity Council, and publish research that shapes the conversation on AI’s most consequential questions.
Elevate Community — We create spaces where members grow — through mentorship, startup showcases, professional connections, and leadership opportunities that amplify every voice in our network.
Give Back to Society — We engage governments, academic institutions, and the public to ensure that the benefits of AI reach beyond Silicon Valley and into the world.
Why Nexus?
Since our founding, we have grown tenfold — from a small group of passionate individuals to a thriving community of over 100 attendees at our monthly forums. Our discussions span the full spectrum of AI’s impact – from semiconductor design and autonomous systems to medical AI, legal ethics, climate sustainability, and the future of work.
We are proud to count among our strategic partners:
- Seoul National University College of Engineering
- KIC Silicon Valley
- KOTRA Silicon Valley
- Korean Consulate General in San Francisco
These partnerships — along with our growing network of corporate, academic, and government collaborators — position Nexus as the premier Silicon Valley AI community bridging Korean and global tech ecosystems.
