SF AI Founders × Korean VC Meetup
Korean VCs are actively looking for their next investments in the US, and San Francisco, the global center of AI, is at the top of their list. Yet for most founders here, Korean capital is still uncharted territory. Who’s investing, what they look for, and how to get in the room are rarely talked about.
That’s why MISSION Law Firm, MISSION International, Z Venture Capital and Log Investment are bringing San Francisco AI founders and Korean VCs together in one room. Hear firsthand how Korean VCs invest and what the process looks like, have real conversations, and leave with relationships, not just business cards.
This meetup is meant to be the first of many, building an ongoing bridge between San Francisco’s startup ecosystem and Korea’s venture community.
