by Year 5 (2030) on $63 million This massive margin expansion comes from leveraging fixed costs-which total only $34,783 per month in the first year-against rapid student enrollment growth Enrollment scales from 130 students monthly in 2026 to 570 students monthly by 2030 Your main levers are optimizing the 19% variable cost structure (LMS fees, licensing, acquisition) and maximizing the
