The answer to your question depends upon a few things. I think the most important are: how sticky is your product, what are your opportunity costs, and are you motivated to see this through over the next 2 years. Schools won't want to let your product go if it's sticky. For example, you could offer the product free for a year or two with the expectation that you'll charge for it later. This helps you avoid the red tape, iterate upon feedback quicker, and grow faster. If you can spare the time and this product excites you, go for it! What's the worst that can happen? Even if you fail, you have an amazing story and portfolio piece about a product that you built and brought to market. It shouldn't be hard for you to land a great job after that.
