We review a niche online education platform founded for architectural and design professionals—offering 200+ live and on‑demand courses covering parametric design, BIM, 3D printing, AI tools. The business is bootstrapped since 2018, running at ~50% net profit margins, trailing‑12‑months revenue around $450K and profit ~$227K. The seller is asking ~$2.7M (≈11.9× profit, ~6× revenue) based on ~30% growth year over year.

Key Highlights:
- Revenue ~$450K, net profit ~$227K (~50% margin) and ~30% growth.
- Asking price ~$2.7M = ~11.9× profit, ~6× revenue.
- Model: 200+ courses, ~5,000 students, mix of B2C subscriptions + B2B licensing, niche vertical (architects/design).
- Risk areas: low recurring revenue (~25%), ticket size ~$90/student (so high volume required), valuation seems disconnected from scale.
- Consensus: a buyer could step in, launch sales team, expand market (vocational high schools, related professions) — but at this price overpay‑risk is high.
