I think our idea is great and can make money and we're both pretty smart. I want to go full time. What is the best way to do this? My day job pays well and I quite enjoy it, but it's stressful and sometimes involves long hours.

The only outlay for the start-up would be hosting costs. I live in a capital city in the first world. I could quit my job and live for about three months on money I've saved up. I think if the start-up failed I would have pretty good job prospects afterwards.
