The question is: "Are you targeting Westerners with money?" American, and I extrapolate to other Western countries, don't care much for education after a certain income level. I don't mean they dislike education. They just don't see it as a priority in spending since they already have a public school system available.

If you are targeting this demographic, you'll need venture money. If you are targeting poor Asian countries, you need savvy. These countries are poor. They know the value of an education. As a result, parents will pay for their kids to get an education if they can.

If you can target poor nations, then you have to get your product known. The rest will follow. You should be able to do this on your own, assuming you've planned a runway.
