Pre-Health Admissions Hub – $90K Profit – $500K Asking – 5.6x

Listing Type (?): Interesting Find

📸 Snapshot:
This ed-tech and consulting marketplace helps aspiring healthcare professionals (MD, DMD, PT, etc.) prepare for the post-MCAT application journey. The platform includes CASPer and interview prep banks, a personal statement library, and a school research database. Users can also connect with vetted admissions consultants via a built-in commission-based marketplace. Founded in 2023, the company has grown to ~$130K in TTM revenue and $90K profit, with a subscriber base of 101–250 and claimed 70% profit margins.

✅ The Good:

• Niche, High-Stakes Market: Pre-health admissions is a serious pain point with motivated buyers and high willingness to pay.

• Built-in Marketplace: Consultant matching allows monetization beyond digital content alone.

• Strong Margins: Claimed 70% profit margins and lean team (under 20 people).

• Multi-Channel Offering: Combines prep content, live coaching, and data-driven school targeting.

⚠️ Watch Out:

• Price is Detached from Reality: At 5.6x profit for a 1-year-old platform with ~$130K in revenue, the ask is high—especially without a moat or proven long-term demand.

• Very Young Business: Founded in 2023, this hasn't been through a full admissions cycle yet, and long-term retention or seasonality trends are unclear.

• Competitive Landscape: Competing with Bemo, Shemassian, Kaplan, and others—buyers need to assess brand strength and differentiation.

• No Tech Moat: While it's built on MERN stack, there’s no indication of proprietary algorithms or tech features that would be hard to replicate.

• Platform or Product?: Still unclear whether this is truly a scalable tech platform or a content + consulting hybrid with limited upside.

💡 Bottom Line:
This is a sharp concept in a high-intent vertical with strong early traction—but the pricing reflects aspirations more than fundamentals. It’s not a bad business. It’s just not worth $500K yet. If you're interested in buying a niche educational tool with real founder effort behind it, wait for a more grounded valuation or negotiate hard.
