Financial Projections

  • Online course fees: $50 - $200 per course
  • Mentorship program fees: $100 - $500 per month
  • Networking event fees: $20 - $50 per event

Monthly Revenue Calculation

Assuming: - 500 course enrollments per month - 50 mentorship program participants per month - 200 networking event attendees per month

Monthly Revenue = (500 * $100) + (50 * $300) + (200 * $30) = $50,000 + $15,000 + $6,000 = $71,000

Estimated MRR: $71,000
