Problem

Despite the 2025 relaxation of exclusivity criteria expanding eligibility for platform workers' industrial accident insurance special provisions, over 70% of eligible workers are unaware of their qualification status or find the application process too complex (14 types of documents required by the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service), resulting in an enrollment rate below 15%. Uninsured delivery workers involved in accidents bear average treatment costs of 3–8 million KRW (~$2,250–$6,000) entirely out of pocket, plus opportunity costs of 2–3 million KRW (~$1,500–$2,250) per month of lost income.

Solution

Workers input their platform, occupation, monthly income, and working hours to receive automatic eligibility determination for industrial accident insurance special provisions, along with a step-by-step document checklist and completion guide. Auto-generates the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service application form as a downloadable PDF. Provides one-stop service including premium payment reminders after enrollment and claims procedure guidance in case of accidents.

Target: Delivery, designated driving, and quick-service platform workers (ages 20–50s), Platform company HR/safety management staff
Revenue Model: Free eligibility determination (lead generation). Auto-generated application form at 9,900 KRW (~$7.40) Per Transaction. Platform company B2B at 1,000 KRW (~$0.75) per worker/month
Ecosystem Role: Consumer
