marketing) are only 190% of revenue This structure leads to a projected Year 1 (2026) EBITDA of $42 million on $63 million in revenue, yielding a 665% margin Most educational platforms aim for 35-45% EBITDA, so your focus must shift from basic cost control to maximizing capacity utilization and optimizing the product mix By 2030, revenue is projected to hit $449 million, but this requires rapidly scaling instructor Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) from 80 in 2026 to 280 in 2030 This guide outlines seven strategies to manage that growth, maintain high pricing power, and push the EBITDA margin above
