Problem

With the 3rd Commercial Code amendment making treasury stock retirement mandatory, IR/finance teams (3-20 employees) at KOSPI and KOSDAQ-listed companies must manually track treasury stock holdings, plan retirement schedules, and draft disclosure statements. In the early stages of enforcement with unclear legal interpretations, missing retirement deadlines triggers penalty risks and shareholder lawsuits, while external law firm advisory fees alone cost $3,750-$15,000 (~5-20 million KRW) per engagement.

Solution

Automatically collects DART disclosure and electronic voting data to track treasury stock holding changes in real-time, providing automated D-90/60/30 retirement deadline alerts and draft disclosure generation. Supports IR team decision-making with benchmark reports of retirement cases from similarly-sized companies, reducing costs to 1/10th of law firm fees.

Target: IR/finance team managers at KOSPI/KOSDAQ-listed companies with market capitalization between $37.5M-$375M (~50-500 billion KRW)
Revenue Model: SaaS monthly subscription at $217/month (~290,000 KRW) per corporate account, 20% discount for annual billing. Draft disclosure generation charged at $37.50 (~50,000 KRW) per document.
