David Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Nex, a Silicon Valley startup redefining family entertainment through motion-based gaming. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Lee previously co-founded EditGrid, which was acquired by Apple in 2008. At Apple, he led the engineering team behind iWork for iCloud before launching Nex in 2017. Under his leadership, Nex introduced the Nex Playground in late 2023—a camera-powered “active-play system” that transforms screen time into physical, family-friendly fun. The console quickly gained traction, selling over 100,000 units by the end of 2024 and earning recognition from TIME and Parents magazine. Lee continues to expand Nex’s reach through partnerships with major brands like Universal and DreamWorks, bringing beloved franchises to life through interactive, movement-based games.
