Problem

Retirees in their 50s have 20-30 years of accumulated expertise (sales know-how, production management, accounting practices, equipment maintenance, etc.), but they don't know how to turn this into digital knowledge products such as online courses, e-books, or consulting services. They are aware of platforms like YouTube and Class 101, but there is no systematic guidance on 'what knowledge from my career can be sold,' 'what format is suitable,' or 'where to sell it.' As a result, their unique expertise is lost upon retirement, and they miss out on a second income opportunity.

Solution

Users input their career details (industry, role, years of experience, key achievements) on the web, and the service recommends 3-5 areas for knowledge productization, along with the optimal format for each (online course / e-book / 1:1 consulting / newsletter), platform, expected revenue, and a production roadmap. A step-by-step guide provides hands-on direction from 'Week 1: Curriculum design → Week 2: Sample content creation → Week 3: Platform registration.'

Target: Retirees or those 1-2 years from retirement aged 50-60 from large or mid-sized companies, with 15+ years of experience in a specific field, interested in a second income but unsure about 'what I can sell.'
Revenue Model: Free career analysis and knowledge product recommendations; customized roadmap + content creation template package at 29,000 KRW (approx. $21.75); monthly subscription (community + monthly feedback) at 9,900 KRW (approx. $7.43).
