I don't think pursuing revenue/profit is the first thing you should do. Education projects need sometime to 'get going'. My advice is start doing it in the weekends, find a few users, see what they love, change what they hate, find more users and iterate until you can leave you job. Another thing, put someone aboard. If you can't convice your best friend (or somebody close) that it's a good idea, maybe you wouldn't convice a VC or pg.
