How MEM is funded

General subscriptions

40%

Monthly/annual recurring revenue from gym partners, local authorities and corporate CSR sponsors.

Course referral fees

25%

Success-based fees from L2/L3 training providers for every candidate enrolled via the platform.

Restricted funding for hardware (prison tablets), starter kits and R&D.

Employer placement fees
