The Opportunity

Problem

Mexico's formal sector has shrunk for five straight quarters, forcing workers into unstable informal jobs without benefits despite misleadingly low unemployment rates.

Solution

BeneFlow scans a user's situation and instantly shows all federal, state, and municipal benefits, subsidies, and healthcare programs they qualify for. It provides guided application flows, document checklists, and deadline tracking. Users receive alerts when new programs launch or their eligibility changes.

Target Audience

Mexican workers and job seekers dependent on formal sector employment

Differentiator

Real-time scraped and verified database of every Mexican benefits program (over 180) with AI-powered eligibility engine and one-click government form filler — no other tool covers both formal and informal worker programs comprehensively.
