Our Mission

United Korean Founders is a nonprofit organization that fosters the growth and support of Korean entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Our Story

In 2019, monthly gatherings of entrepreneurs began at a private residence in the western United States. These meetings grew through the voluntary efforts of participants, leading to the '82 Startup Summit' in 2023, which was attended by 800 people. In October of the same year, a startup forum event held in New York attracted about 600 attendees. These events made us realize the need for a focused and comprehensive community for Korean entrepreneurs.

We are a non-profit organization aiming to create an integrated community for Korean entrepreneurs and foster an entrepreneurial ecosystem that represents North America. Our organization is maintained through the dedicated efforts of many volunteers.
