Problem

As tech-based startups hit record highs with a surge in new ICT and AI companies, early-stage founders spend an average of 2-3 weeks and $375-$1,125 (~50-150 million KRW) on administrative agents to identify the permits required for their business model (online retail license, personal data processing, AI impact assessment, etc.) and match eligible government grants (TIPS, Startup Leap Package, and 50+ others). Cases of post-launch fines due to missed permits are also common.

Solution

(1) Enter your business registration industry code and service keywords to auto-generate a list of required and optional permits. (2) Match the top 10 eligible government grants based on qualification criteria and provide deadline alerts. (3) Deliver permit application templates and step-by-step procedural guides. Eliminates permit omission risk at 1/5 the cost of an administrative agent.

Target: Early-stage ICT and AI founders with 1-3 person teams (within 6 months of incorporation), ages 25-40, technical entrepreneurs
