While everyone has suggested bootstrapping, friends and fam, local angel groups and Angel List, have you tried your university? Many large public institutions have launchpads and accelerators (they just don't always market it well). This could be a natural fit for them. I think like most people are echoing, continue to fund it out of pocket (maybe with the help of family) to get it to be the best product possible. From there, slowly build out into other geographies. You can learn lessons from your early expansions so as to not repeat it. Given the product is still young, there is likely a good amount you can build on prior to scaling out. Good luck and will def be monitoring University Niche
