Congrats on the work so far. Fully agree with you that diverse backgrounds among founders are a huge help. Seen too many tech founders think about the business side of things much too late.

Question: How did you determine you have an MVP and that it's likely to be very valuable to that market? Even getting that far (market research etc) requires some pretty decent business skills.

Have you spoken to a couple universities and colleges about it? If not, I would spend time to do that before spending time finding a partner or funding. It will be a bit awkward if you haven't done this type of customer research before. Additional benefit of doing this first yourself, the more you know about the business side of your future company the more you can evaluate if a potential founder has good business skills.

Heads up: the education market doesn't act like other markets (your customers are the government or close to it). A partner with education-related work/biz experience might be significantly more helpful in this case vs general biz background.
