Foundation Introduction
Brand Story
From Korea Social Investment To CunaeST
Since its establishment in 2012, Korea Social Investment has accumulated diverse achievements for solving social problems and social innovation as a public benefit impact investor for 13 years.
Starting in 2026, marking our 14th anniversary, we are pursuing a name change to leap forward and expand globally while inheriting our history and identity.
Our new name is CunaeST Foundation.
CunaeST is a combination of the Latin word Cunae (Cradle) and ST (Social Transformation/Human Investment), meaning 'Cradle of Social Transformation' that nurtures social values.
The Korean name is 재단법인 큐네스티, the English name is CunaeST Foundation, and the slogan is “Cradle of Social Transformation”.
This name change is not just a simple change of name, but a strategic decision to:
Inherit the history and business of KSI into ST,
Gain universality suitable for cooperation with capital markets and global partners,
Strengthen the long-term vision of nurturing social innovators and impact.
The organization's philosophy, mission, and the essence of what we have done do not change. Although the name changes, the trust and responsibility built by Korea Social Investment continue.
With the new name CunaeST, we aim to take a leap forward as the cradle of social transformation.
