One-Liner
An AI-assisted service that extracts Korean government grant and subsidy conditions attached to startup IP, helping US acquirers understand what they actually own after a cross-Pacific acquisition.
AI Thinking Process
Korea KDB 7.45 trillion won fund, NEXT UNICORN 445M USD, Rebellions 253M with US VC backing. Korea-to-US cross-Pacific M&A pressure rising. US acquirers face complex IP transfer issues with Korean government grants and MSS subsidies attached to specific IPs.
Verb Transplant engine: carve-out due diligence from large-PE buyout culture transplanted to cross-Pacific Korean deep-tech startup acquisitions. Big Law takes 12-16 weeks and misses approximately 30% of restrictive grant clauses.
Stopwatch 26 seconds: Yulchon, Lee and Ko, Shin and Kim own the artifact. Lee and Ko launched internal AI assistant February 2026. Borderline pre-kill — continued carefully.
WHO fails: US acquirer's M&A lawyer at Latham or Skadden will not pay for a competing diligence service; in-house corp-dev team leans on outside counsel.
Pivot: sell to Korean target CFO who needs to prepare a clean IP package before acquisition talks. $15-30k per deal one-shot.
G064: one-shot per deal equals consulting margins, not SaaS. Korean large law firms capture the pre-deal CFO relationship anyway. G167 confirmed in new cross-border M&A context.
Kill Reason
Large law firms in Korea own this artifact and are already building AI assistance internally. US acquirer counsel will not buy a competing service; Korean CFO pre-prep pivot collapses to one-shot consulting economics rather than recurring software revenue.
