Problem

As limited-edition merchandise from popular IPs like Evangelion's 30th anniversary is released through scattered channels such as theaters and events, fandom collectors in their 20s–30s must constantly monitor 5–10 channels including Twitter, fan communities, and official websites. Missing a release leads to buying at resale prices (2–5x retail) or losing the purchase opportunity entirely, occurring 2–3 times per month with additional costs of 50,000–200,000 KRW (~$37–$150) per item.

Solution

Automatically aggregates limited-edition merchandise release information across channels by IP, delivering real-time alerts based on user interests. Core features: (1) Cross-channel release info crawling from official sites, social media, and communities, (2) Personalized alerts by IP and category (via KakaoTalk/push notifications), (3) Release calendar and one-click purchase link integration. The differentiator is cross-channel aggregation spanning both Japanese and Korean IPs.

Target: Anime and gaming IP collectors aged 20–30, limited-edition merchandise resellers
Revenue Model: Free tier: 3 IPs, Premium at 3,900 KRW/month (~$2.90, unlimited IPs + early release alerts), annual plan at 35,000 KRW (~$26)
