NXN Labs

Hyunjun Jang : 

I first came across NXN Labs while reading economic news and tech trend articles. It immediately caught my attention because the company was building the kind of “future technologies” I used to imagine when I was younger.

Afterward, I looked up NXN Labs and the CEO on LinkedIn, and I felt certain that working with a team like this would help me grow both professionally and personally.That confidence led me to apply for the internship, and I’m grateful that I was given the opportunity to join.

Jun Lee : 

Jaiwon, the Founder & CEO of NXN Labs, visited Stanford and gave a talk about the company.I was really impressed by her perspective on technology and business, as well as her leadership style. When She spoke about the team and the company’s vision, her eyes genuinely lit up — and that moment stayed with me.

I remember thinking, “I want to work with someone like this and be part of a team like this.”So I decided on the spot to apply for the internship.

Wing : 

I joined NXN Labs because the culture felt genuinely warm and supportive. As a student, I wanted hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment rather than a structured corporate role, and NXN Labs seemed like the perfect place for that.

It felt like an environment where I could try new things, learn through real work, and grow alongside talented people — so I decided to join.

Hanmin Lee : 

Like Jun, I was deeply inspired after meeting Jaiwon at Stanford. Compared to other companies, NXN Labs stood out because even interns are given real responsibility and the chance to lead projects.

Joining a fast-growing early-stage team and contributing to real impact felt incredibly meaningful for my career, so I didn’t hesitate to apply.

Hyeonjun Choi : 

I’ve always dreamed of founding my own company someday, so before beginning my military service, I wanted to experience working at a startup firsthand.

Since I’m particularly interested in fast-moving technology sectors, I naturally gravitated toward tech startups — and NXN Labs, working at the forefront of AI, caught my attention immediately.

The team’s vision and culture resonated with me, and I felt strongly that if I were to begin my first real-world experience anywhere, it should be here.

Wing : 

Before my first day, I was pretty nervous — mostly because I’m a foreigner.But from the moment I arrived, everyone welcomed me so warmly that I felt comfortable almost immediately.

I was also surprised by how structured and organized everything was. Even though NXN Labs moves at the fast pace of a startup, there are clear standards for how the team works, and that left a strong impression on me.

Hyeonhun Choi : 

What stood out to me the most was the people. Everyone on the team is highly professional, yet they create an environment where we challenge each other in a healthy and motivating way.

Another thing I appreciated is that no one ever criticizes you for not knowing something. As someone experiencing my first job, there were naturally many unfamiliar terms and situations, but at NXN, people always explain the context kindly and help you learn without hesitation.

Lastly, I was really impressed that interns are trusted with real responsibilities. Friends often assume interns only do printing or coffee runs, but when I tell them the kind of work I actually did here, they’re always shocked. NXN Labs gives opportunities based on ability and potential, not titles — and that’s one of the biggest strengths of this team.

Hanmin Lee : 

What surprised me most during my first week was how people from not only my team but also other teams reached out to check on me.Thanks to that, I was able to adapt quickly and felt like part of the team right away.

I also had the chance to lead a project myself, which let me gain a wide range of hands-on experiences.Working and learning alongside my teammates was genuinely enjoyable, and the team outings and retreats throughout the internship became some of my favorite memories.

Hyunjun Jang  : 

I was struck by how clearly each team member’s role and expertise stood out.Watching big projects move quickly and precisely — like perfectly interlocked gears — made a deep impression on me.

Everyone generously offered guidance both inside and outside of work, and at some point, I realized I had naturally become one of those “gears,” moving together with the team.That sense of belonging motivated me even more and made me want to keep growing here.

I was fortunate to receive a conversion offer, and I’m now continuing my journey at NXN Labs as a full-time team member.

Jun Lee : 

What I appreciated most after joining was how many opportunities I had to work proactively.From preparing documentation for the U.S. FLIP process to assisting with VC IR materials, I was entrusted with meaningful tasks that helped me learn how to think and operate in real-world contexts.

The feedback process was also memorable. Instead of simply pointing out what needed to be improved, the team helped me understand why certain directions might be better and how to expand my thinking — which broadened my perspective significantly. Outside of work, we bonded through movie nights, a horror escape room, and a team retreat.This internship gave me everything I hoped for: growth, experience, and joy.

Hanmin Lee : 

My experience at NXN Labs was meaningful not only in terms of work, but also because of the people I learned from along the way.Thank you for giving me such a fulfilling and enriching internship.

Hyunjun Jang : 

I was grateful to work with great teammates and to solve real problems together.

To future NXN interns: even if things feel unfamiliar or challenging at first, you’ll see a stronger, more confident version of yourself by the end of the internship.

Jun Lee : 

To future applicants — definitely come! You won’t regret it.Best internship ever 🙂

Hyeonjun Choi : 

The speed, focus, and level of dedication I saw at NXN Labs were incredibly inspiring.If I ever build a team of my own one day, I hope it will be like this one.

Wing : 

I want to thank NXN Labs for giving me the chance to practice Korean every day — I feel like I improved so much in such a short time.
Thank you for making this summer one of the most memorable ones I’ve ever had!
