💰 Revenue Model

Year 1 Projections (Conservative)

Assumptions:

10,000 free users
2% conversion to Premium = 200 users
5% conversion to Enterprise = 10 users

Revenue:

Premium: 200 × $100 = $20,000
Enterprise: 10 × $500 × 12 = $60,000
Marketplace: 50 sales × $250 × 10% = $1,250

Total Year 1: ~$81,000

Growth Scenario (Year 3)

Assumptions:

50,000 free users
3% conversion to Premium = 1,500 users
5% enterprise conversion = 75 users

Revenue:

Premium: 1,500 × $100 = $150,000
Enterprise: 75 × $500 × 12 = $450,000
Marketplace: 200 sales × $300 × 10% = $6,000

Total Year 3: ~$606,000
