[UKF X NextRise] 2026 SEOUL Meets UKF
June 19, 2026, 2:00–6:00 PM (KST) / COEX
From Hospitality to Solidarity — The Beginning of UKF Korea
United Korean Foundres, Inc. (United Korean Founders), an open community of Korean founders who cross borders, is relaunching as a community, and we are starting "UKF Korea" to walk alongside Korea's startup ecosystem.
Following Silicon Valley and New York, this Seoul meetup brings together UKF Co-Chairs Kiha Lee and Saeju Jeong, Strategy Director Chang Kim, and Legal Director/Head of UKF Korea Sunghoon Kim in one place to mark UKF's beginning as a community. We invite everyone curious about UKF's history, the future it envisions, and the vision and questions it poses to the Korean ecosystem—as well as the cross-border innovators and ecosystem leaders who wish to join as members of the UKF community.
Come meet UKF, a community of hospitality and solidarity among Korean founders who cross borders—founders who have now gone from Seoul out into the world.
* Due to venue capacity, attendance requires advance registration and approval, with priority given to UKF members. For event registration and UKF membership, please refer to the comment below.
