@NeelNanda Yes, I think so! ~$5k is good enough for the first semester, but I think I could productively use up to $25k total over the space of 3 semesters. Also, if I had $25k for 3 semesters, I could probably hire some paid part-time help, to help with faster growth (reaching many universities simultaneously etc.)
Obviously, anything between what I have now and $25k total is fine too.
