Retired Professionals' Micro-Consulting Marketplace

2.75

Derivation Chain

Step 1 AI builder survival guide — career transition
Step 2 Career utilization needs of retirees in their 50s
Step 3 Lack of a simple platform to share 30 years of knowledge for a fee
Step 4 The micro-consulting format under one hour is not yet established

Problem

Retired professionals aged 55-63 (accountants, engineers, marketers, HR managers, etc.) have 30 years of career know-how, but to monetize it, they must create full courses on lecture platforms or start a consulting firm. There is no structure to lightly share their experience and receive small fees, like a 30-minute phone consultation, so their career assets go to waste. Junior employees seeking advice also want to hear seniors' experiences instead of expensive consulting, but there is no connection channel.

Solution

Retired professionals register 'available topics, time slots, and rates (15/30/60 minutes)', and junior employees or aspiring entrepreneurs search by topic to book, pay, and conduct video consultations in one place. After each consultation, ratings and reviews accumulate to verify expertise.

Target: Retired professionals aged 55-63 (providers), current employees and aspiring entrepreneurs aged 30-45 (demand side)
Revenue Model: 15% platform commission on consultation fees. Top profile placement for consultants at 30,000 KRW/month (approx. $22.50).
