B2B vs B2C at CipherSchools
B2B has been working decently well for us and has helped to fuel the team, the area where we failed is B2C.
The reason for the failure of the B2C segment has been low-cost or no marketing. Although we did run a few(~10) batches in the past but turned out to be loss-making.

Marketing at CipherSchools
We’ll call it zero marketing, of course, like others we also ran ads, failing in a few because of the ticket price of the course(i.e 7k ). We also thought of reducing(Rs 500 ) and running it again, we did get the traction but with a good loss of capital.
Money is one of the primary concerns for any Bootstrap when it comes to marketing, one of the many reasons why we failed to establish ourselves in B2C is we tried competing with brands spending 50k/day vs 1k/day(CS).
Pivot
Having learned so many things through experiments in B2C we finally have decided to shut down the existing model and try out something new.
We have been dedicatedly working on our new product for the last couple of months which is expected to go public at the starting of next year but the beta version would be LIVE in the month of November itself.
