If in one country it is not bad. But what about the whole world?
It just start. It is necessary to start with someting. And I thing that cooperation with 9 universities is a good start.
I also think that this is a good result to start with. If all goes well, many universities will be interested in the project in the future.
Many more universities are not aware of the appearance on the market of this application. When the team officially launches its product, then many educational institutions will become partners of the project.
