SAVJAK returns with its fifth edition — this time centering on “Failure.”
Following previous gatherings focused on tourism, travel, and cross-industry networking, SAVJAK V brings together K-Beauty brand founders and industry professionals to share the unfiltered lessons behind real challenges and setbacks.

Failure isn’t the opposite of success — it’s part of the process. At this meetup, founders open up about the tough moments that don’t usually make it to LinkedIn: scaling pains, staffing and operational hurdles, marketing missteps, funding challenges, and how they turned setbacks into strategy.

Why SAVJAK?

SAVJAK is a B2B meetup for startups, companies, small business owners, and founders who provide services to foreigners or run businesses targeting foreign customers in Korea. It’s not limited to founders — anyone working in related industries is welcome.

The name “SAVJAK (사브작)” refers to the soft, hopeful sound of small steps — like leaves rustling or snow crunching lightly underfoot. It reflects how meaningful progress often starts: with small but intentional steps. This community brings together those taking these steps — one savjak at a time — to create bigger impact together.
