This EdTech Marketplace was about to shut down.
In early 2025, the founder reached out to me.
He was exhausted.
Convinced he had failed.
Because the reality looked like this:
- Broken systems
- Zero automation
- Manual spreadsheet chaos
- Leads leaking every single day
- 18 in-house team members… but no performance clarity
- Operating in loss
He genuinely thought shutting down was the only option.
Fast forward to 2026.
Now they have:
✔ Strong backend system
✔ Full automations
✔ Role-based dashboards
✔ Proper lead tracking
✔ 70% cost reduction ($50,000 saved per month)
✔ Crossed $1,000,000 in revenue
Revenue snapshot:
Last 90 Days: $234,785
Last 60 Days: $156,780
Last 30 Days: $98,450
The problem was never the business model.
It was the system behind it.
