Problem

Small and mid-size defense component companies in Korea (annual revenue under 5B KRW / ~$3.7M) manually check bid announcements scattered across the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), Ministry of National Defense, and Public Procurement Service (PPS) every day. They frequently miss relevant postings that match their capabilities. With an average bid preparation period of 2-4 weeks, late discovery of announcements means losing bidding opportunities worth hundreds of millions of KRW (~hundreds of thousands USD) in annual revenue.

Solution

A customized bid announcement matching and alert service for small defense companies, integrating DAPA's military procurement information API and PPS's government e-procurement system (Nara Marketplace). (1) Automatic matching based on company capability profiles (item codes, certifications, track record), (2) real-time alerts via KakaoTalk/email, (3) bid schedule calendar + submission document checklist.

Target: Sales team leads/CEOs at small defense component/software companies with 1-5B KRW (~$750K-$3.7M) annual revenue (approx. 300-500 companies)
Revenue Model: SaaS monthly subscription at 99,000 KRW (~$74)/account, Premium (including competitor intelligence) at 199,000 KRW (~$149)/month. Target ARR of 120-240M KRW (~$90K-$180K) upon securing 100 companies
