Six-day New York tour offers Korean entrepreneurs startup guidance

From Local Startup Networking to One-on-One Expert Advice: A Six-Day New York Hallyu Startup Tour

A hands-on program in New York is set to help aspiring entrepreneurs who are determined to start a business but unsure where to begin.

Launching in September 2025, the New York Hallyu Startup Tour covers key steps in starting a business over six days, including immigration procedures, commercial district research, marketing strategies and expert consultations.

Day 1 will introduce U.S. startup visa options and business concepts offered by the organizers,

Days 2 and 3 will include site visits to Korean business districts in New Jersey and Queens, along with discussions with local business operators,

Day 4 will feature global K-franchise operating strategies and hands-on social media marketing training.

On Day 5, participants will join a networking dinner for entrepreneurs alongside tours of Manhattan and Brooklyn,

and on Day 6, each participant will develop a tailored business plan through a one-on-one consultation with an expert.

The program is drawing particular interest because even participants without a business idea can pursue a more stable path to entrepreneurship through vetted business sectors and properties matched by the organizers.

The organizers said, “This program can offer practical opportunities to anyone who dreams of starting a business,” adding that it “will serve as a bridge connecting K-content in Korea with demand for Hallyu in the United States.”
