Where London's business leaders actually connect.
V8 Nexus is a curated membership community for established business owners, senior professionals, and growth-focused entrepreneurs in London.
We combine high-trust human networks with practical AI and Martech intelligence — so members leave every event with relationships that open doors, and tools that reduce the work of maintaining them.
Most professional networks offer a room, a schedule, and a pile of business cards. V8 Nexus is built around three principles that make those introductions worth something.
Every event, every introduction, and every resource in the community is designed to serve one of these:
Connect
Introductions are curated, not random. Every member is vetted. Every event is designed to surface genuine synergies — between people who can actually do business together, refer each other, or build something jointly.
Innovate
Members get direct access to practical AI and Martech intelligence — not theory. Seminars are built around what SME owners and professionals can implement the same week, without a technical team behind them.
Accelerate
The V8 Engine gives members access to the tools, frameworks, and partner network that V8 Global uses with its own clients — compressed into a format that works for busy professionals who need outcomes, not projects.
Standards over size.
V8 Nexus grows with the right people — there's no fixed cap, and we actively want it to be bigger. What we're selective about is quality. Members are admitted on the basis of professional standing, genuine contribution, and relevance to the community. If you're in, so is everyone else in the room.
Established business owners
Founders and owners with proven businesses looking to scale intelligently, modernise their operations, and build the kind of strategic partnerships that don't come from general networking events.
Senior professionals
Partners, directors, and senior advisors in legal, finance, real estate, and consulting. People whose value to the room is their expertise, their network, and their ability to open the right doors.
Growth-minded entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs actively integrating AI and modern technology into their business model — who want to be in the room with peers who understand why that matters, not just what it does.

"The problem with most London networking isn't the lack of events — it's that the right people are spread across a dozen of them and never properly introduced."
Gina Cheng built V8 Nexus to solve a specific problem she kept running into: too many rooms full of interesting people who left without ever talking to the one person who could have changed something for them.
Her background is in LinkedIn strategy and personal branding — which means she understands exactly how professional relationships are built, maintained, and converted into real business outcomes. That thinking shapes every aspect of how V8 Nexus operates: who gets invited, how introductions are made, and what members take away beyond a contact list.
V8 Nexus is backed by Alan Law and the V8 Global team — over a decade of Martech experience, 700+ SME clients served, and active operations across London, Hong Kong, and internationally. iFast Bank and Hongkonger Magazine are founding community partners.
Every V8 Nexus member receives the AI Toolkit Notebook on joining — free, with no separate signup required.
The notebook exists because the community's value doesn't stop at the event. Between meetings, members need to maintain relationships, stay visible, and keep up with the platforms and tools their clients and peers are using. The toolkit makes that manageable — without a marketing team or a heavy time commitment.
The V8 AI Toolkit Notebook
A practical, step-by-step guide to using AI as a genuine business tool — not just a content generator.
Built from the same systems V8 Global uses with its own clients. Currently available on Claude — Gemini and ChatGPT versions coming soon.
- Write social content that sounds like you, not like an AI wrote it
- Stay current with platform algorithm changes — without following every update yourself
- Use AI to prepare for meetings, research prospects, and follow up faster
- Build a personal AI setup that understands your business context and pushes back productively
- Manage client communication and pipeline at a pace previously only possible with a team
