Corey’s Quick Take: this one is aged, stable, and screams ‘easy wins’ to me. I don’t know what else to say so check it out for yourself!
EdTech Subscription Box – $259K Profit – Asking $890K – 3.4x
Listing Type (?): Solid
A 9-year-old subscription box business focused on DIY computer and electronics kits for aspiring coders and tech tinkerers. With 900+ active subscribers, a $320 LTV, and 42% net margins, this brand runs lean and generates solid profits with minimal marketing or staff.
✅ What I Like
42% net margins with high retention and low churn
SBA pre-qualified and affordable entry price
Fully private label product line with several trademarks
Minimal ops: ~16–20 hrs/week and 2–3 part-time contractors
⚠️ Risks / Challenges / Questions
Founder-heavy operation (design, teaching, ops)
Little paid marketing to date—growth upside or untapped risk?
Physical fulfillment could limit scale vs. digital-first edtech
📈 Ways to Grow
Layer in paid ads + influencer campaigns (untouched so far)
List products/subscription on Amazon and other platforms
Expand into new product lines or adjacent verticals
Build content around the kits (courses, community, etc.)
