The Boardroom, founded by Yoosung Jung and Veer Benepal, is a private community that empowers artists and creative entrepreneurs through intentional connection and collaboration. We host intimate, chess-driven gatherings that humanize networking in consumer and creative domains. From each event, we help members develop their ideas and projects into lasting creative work.
Our story
Yoosung Jung
