The global education market is substantial, with a TAM of around 500 billion dollars.

This includes all spending on universities, community colleges, and vocational institutions, covering a broad audience base of prospective students, parents, educational institutions, and other stakeholders involved in higher education.

With approximately 200 million students globally enrolled in various colleges, the potential reach is immense as we're accounting for diverse demographics and regions without product limitations.

For our SAM estimation, we consider the specific niche of students interested in pursuing college education across the world.

This narrows down the TAM to around 50 billion, which is about 10% of the total market.

An estimated 20 million students fit in this specific category, focusing on individuals ready to enroll in college but accounting for geographical and economic factors that constrain our reach.

In the first year of operation, we aim to capture a realistic SOM of 1% of our SAM.

This gives us around 500 million dollars as a potential revenue value, focusing on what can be efficiently marketed and realistically converted to sales.
