Problem

As US export controls on AI chips to China continue to tighten, Korean IT distributors (10-30 employees) handling AMD and NVIDIA chips must manually review end-user verification, EAR compliance, and export license requirements on a per-transaction basis. Each review takes 2-4 hours, and with violation risks including trade restrictions and fines, legal costs reach ~$15,000-$37,000 annually.

Solution

A SaaS that cross-references per-transaction inputs (end-user, end-use, destination country) against the BIS Entity List, EAR regulations, and Korea's Strategic Materials Control List to instantly determine export eligibility and required licenses. Provides automatic alerts on regulation updates and re-screening of existing transactions.

Target: Trade compliance officers at Korean IT/semiconductor distributors with 10-30 employees
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at ~$96/month per account (includes 50 reviews/month). Additional reviews at ~$2.90 each. 15% discount for annual billing.
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
