Mobile Wallet business must prioritize transaction volume and cost control to reach profitability quickly Your model shows breakeven in just 7 months (July 2026), driven by a low variable cost structure Total variable costs, including payment fees and cloud hosting, start at about 150% of revenue in 2026, dropping to 130% by 2030 Fixed overhead is high initially, around $68,633 per month in 2026, primarily due to $700,000 in first-year wages By focusing on monetizing Power Users (who have a $12000 AOV) and increasing seller subscription fees (currently $1900 for Small Business), you can significantly accelerate the path to the Year 2 EBITDA target of $265 million The immediate opportunity is optimizing payment gateway fees and cloud infrastructure costs, which start at 70% of revenue\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
