Derivation Chain

Step 1 Full-scale support for the Southeast region's venture ecosystem
→
Step 2 Creation of regional venture funds creates indirect benefit opportunities for local SMEs and small business owners
→
Step 3 The problem that 50s local business owners cannot self-diagnose whether they are eligible for regional venture funds and policy finance

Problem

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups creates regional venture funds and signs agreements with KIBO and regional banks, but 50s local SME owners find it hard to determine if their business qualifies for the fund, guarantee, or loan. They have to search separately for announcements from the ministry, KIBO, and venture capital, and eligibility criteria (industry code, sales size, technology classification) vary by announcement, so they miss suitable support programs or waste time on ineligible ones. It takes an average of 2-3 hours to verify eligibility for one program.

Solution

On the web, users input their business registration number or industry, sales, location, and technology classification, and the service automatically matches them with currently open regional venture funds, KIBO guarantees, and policy finance programs that meet their eligibility criteria, displaying them as a list. It shows the eligibility match rate (%) for each program, unmet conditions, and application deadline D-day on a single screen.

Target: 48-60 years old, owners of SMEs/small business owners in provincial areas, with annual sales of 100 million to 5 billion KRW (approx. $75,000 to $3.75 million), and limited experience using policy finance.
Revenue Model: Basic matching is free. Application guide PDF: 3,000 KRW (approx. $2.25) per transaction. Monthly subscription of 5,000 KRW (approx. $3.75) provides automatic alerts for new announcements and eligibility change tracking.
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
