• Aggressive growth strategy targeting schools at the district, county and state level.
• Current revenue projection based on existing revenue stream exceeds $1.8 million.
• Software as a service model provides ongoing revenue streams and historical 85-90% renewal rates.
• High gross margins of 50% for product subscriptions and 70% for training.
• Current 9% market penetration in Hawaii that represents 6% greater results than expected in the test market launch.
• Successful management team with over 80 years of C-level experience with emerging companies and over 40 years in education technology.
