Can't see value here. Having 7.5k (actually 5k, but I live in a cheaper part of the world) to spend I'm currently getting pretty functional prototype from one of the universities (no doubts about credibility). If it fails to get traction the money is lost just like in 26|52 (unless I'll sell the site on Flippa). But if it gets off the ground I don't have to give out the equity. So you need to rethink the value proposition: either reduce the risk your customer experiences or provide him with more value: marketing, sales, analytics etc.
