Through a long-standing university partnership, the Company delivers differentiated undergraduate and graduate-level programming supported by owned design and course content, experienced faculty, and a proven record of student outcomes. The platform has established a strong reputation by combining academic instruction with practical, career-oriented training for students and professionals pursuing applied roles across design, innovation, and business strategy.

This relationship provides meaningful visibility into future student cohorts and supports a high-confidence revenue profile.

Key Investment Highlights:


Attractive profitability profile with strong projected cash flows validated by student enrollment: Revenue has grown from $1.15M in 2024 to $1.67M in 2025, with projected average revenue of $1,79M over the next three years. Forward revenue is secured by a pipeline of already enrolled students, not dependent on future sales activity. The company has increasing operating leverage with SDE growing from $320K in 2024 to $704K in 2025 and projected to average $796K over the next 3 years.

 


Nationally recognized program with strong outcomes: The Company’s flagship program has achieved national recognition, including a reported #5 ranking and 90%+ employer placement rate.

 


Owned design and course content with scalable growth potential: The business owns 100% of its proprietary curriculum and program design, creating a scalable intellectual property platform that can be deployed across additional academic partners, professional audiences, and commercial channels with limited incremental investment. The same foundational IP has already been deployed across multiple degree programs at minimal additional cost - a proof of concept for the platform’s ability to scale without significant rebuilding.  

 

Purpose built facility: The Company operates from a fully equipped professional-grade design and innovation studio, providing an incoming owner with a deployment-ready platform and limited near-term facility investment needs.
After more than two decades building and operating the business, the founders are pursuing a planned ownership transition. The business is being offered in excellent operational standing, with strong institutional relationships, a full team in place, and no operational disruption anticipated. The sellers are committed to a smooth transition and will provide training and support to the incoming owner. An acquirer gains a deployment-ready platform with institutional validation, attractive financials, proven offerings, and clear, low-capital paths to growth.
