All projections from October 2026 onward are based on Biko Today’s current strategic plans and internal growth assumptions. Targets depend on funding, adoption, delivery capacity and phase gates. They are not achieved results or guarantees.
Read the metric definitions & source notes +
Revenue: Historical figures use management’s documented revenue / inflows classification. Projected revenue is an annual planning target, not contracted income, ARR or a forecast of collections.
Adoption: 2027 targets include 100,000 talent accounts, 7,500 managed SMEs and 75,000 platform businesses. The 2028 deck lists 350,000 talent and 25,000 managed SMEs; it does not separately specify a 2028 platform-business count. “Talent” is the deck’s 2028 category, not a claim of students trained or active accounts.
Comparability: Historical SMEs supported are not equivalent to projected managed SMEs, and historical students trained are not equivalent to talent accounts. No adoption-to-revenue conversion, monthly interpolation or compound growth rate has been invented.
Sources: Management-supplied historical brief; BikoToday Company Profile; Global Profile 2026; Pitch Deck 2026–2050 (slides 16–17); Business Plan September 2026–January 2028 (sections 6, 10 and 16). Source documents differ in product milestone detail; current status follows management’s latest brief.
