- Technology Status: Technology assets, differentiation, IP, development roadmap
- Business Plan: Market analysis, competitive strategy, marketing, operations

Writing Best Practices
Use Quantitative Data
Instead of "excellent technology," write "30% faster processing speed vs. existing solutions." Evaluators prefer objective evidence.
Maintain Consistency
Your technology roadmap, business plan, financial plan, and vision must connect logically. Inconsistent numbers or timelines across sections erode credibility.
Cite Market Data Sources
Always reference credible sources for market size, growth rates, and other data (industry reports, government statistics, etc.).
FAQ
What is the ideal page length?
Typically 15-30 pages is appropriate. Too short appears superficial; too long dilutes the core message. Use charts and tables to improve readability.
Can I resubmit if revisions are requested?
Yes, you can revise and resubmit. However, maximizing quality on the first submission speeds up the review process.
Does this guide work for non-Korean business plans?
While based on the Korean KIBO format, the 5-section structure and evaluation principles apply broadly to technology-focused business plans worldwide.
