Path to profitability, market leadership, and capital efficiency. Series B investors are modeling the exit multiple — they want to see EBITDA timing and revenue quality.
EdTech models should show B2B and B2C P&Ls separately. The gross margin profiles are very different — B2B has higher gross margin but longer sales cycles. Investors will model the blended unit economics and ask why you are prioritizing one channel.
Dual-channel model separating B2B (institutional contracts, district licenses) from B2C (individual learner subscriptions or one-time purchases). Model learning outcome improvements as a retention driver.
