The program helps participants refine their business ideas and write plans ahead of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ ‘Everyone’s Startup Project Round 2’ — applications open to about 20 aspiring and early-stage youth entrepreneurs in the district through Sunday.
Geumcheon-gu is accepting applications through Sunday for its “Everyone’s Startup Project Round 2 — A to Z Startup Education” program, aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of local youth entrepreneurs and helping them participate in government startup support projects.
The program is designed to help young entrepreneurs in Geumcheon-gu refine their business ideas in advance and develop polished business plans so they can take part in the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ large-scale public startup support initiative, “Everyone’s Startup Project Round 2,” which is currently open for applications.
The program has already shown results. One aspiring youth entrepreneur and Kkumteo resident company Eight Around, both of whom completed Geumcheon-gu’s A to Z Startup Education and a customized mentoring course held last April, passed Round 1 of the four-round “Everyone’s Startup Project Round 1” and received business development support.
In preparation for Round 2, the district will hold the A to Z Startup Education on Sept. 7 and 8 at the ninth-floor auditorium of Geumcheon Youth Kkumteo.
A team of expert instructors will deliver 12 hours of intensive education and coaching covering four core topics essential to real-world entrepreneurship: idea discovery, item development, business model design, and business plan completion.
Alongside this, graduates who have a completed business plan will be eligible for additional one-on-one mentoring with the expert “Everyone’s Startup Mentor Group” from Sept. 9 through Sept. 14.
The district also plans to link participants to follow-up programs, including the “Geumcheon Youth Kkumteo IR-Stage (Angel/AC Track)” scheduled for October, providing practical opportunities to attract investment.
Any young aspiring entrepreneur residing in Geumcheon-gu, or any youth-led company within three years of founding with a place of business in the district, is eligible to apply — up to about 20 participants will be accepted. Interested applicants can register through the Geumcheon Youth Kkumteo website by Sunday.
“This program is a hands-on initiative that helps young entrepreneurs at the early idea stage refine their business items around market and customer needs, and get selected for actual government support projects,” Geumcheon-gu District Mayor Choi Ki-chan said. “We will continue to use Geumcheon Youth Kkumteo as a base to actively identify promising young companies in the district and invigorate the local startup ecosystem.”
