New York startup tour connects participants with K-franchise opportunities

No Business Idea? That’s OK! New York K-Wave Startup Tour Connects You to a K-Franchise Business

Choose a K-Franchise and Join a Hands-On Startup Tour

Good news for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting a business in the United States but aren’t sure what kind: the “New York K-Wave Startup Tour,” taking place in September 2025, is a hands-on program in which organizers provide participants with a business idea through a K-franchise brand, giving them the chance to launch a business even if they don’t have an idea of their own.

More than a sightseeing trip, the tour offers practical information for starting a business in New York, with a six-day intensive itinerary that includes property visits, visa and legal consultations, tax strategies, and business plan clinics. In particular, organizers connect participants with franchise opportunities built around Korean culture, including K-food brands, K-cafes, and K-beauty businesses. This allows participants to receive hands-on startup consulting even without business experience or an idea of their own.

The program is designed for everyone, from people with no startup experience to small-business owners considering overseas expansion, and gives participants a chance to experience actual properties and the business environment in New York’s Koreatown. Participants will receive one-on-one consultations with local experts, as well as franchise packages tailored to their business models.
