Problem

Over 200 youth support programs are operated annually by local and central government agencies across South Korea, but each program has different eligibility criteria (age, income, residence, employment status), causing young job seekers to spend an average of 8-12 hours finding programs they qualify for. It is common to miss application deadlines and lose out on $375-$1,500 (50-200만원) in subsidies per year.

Solution

Users enter their profile once (age, residence, income level, employment status, education), and the system automatically filters eligible youth support programs across central, metropolitan, and local governments, sorting by deadline and sending notifications. It provides a one-click application document checklist and direct application links for each program.

Target: Young people aged 19-34 who are job-seeking or in their first 1-2 years of employment, especially those residing outside the Seoul metropolitan area
Revenue Model: Free Basic Plan (3 alerts/month) + Premium Monthly Subscription at $22/month (29,000원) (unlimited alerts, auto-fill application documents, personalized roadmap). B2G Subscription for local governments at $3,750/year (500만원) per agency
