I think it is very brave. Good luck to you, OP!

My suggestions:
-be clear about how you and your partner measure your success as well as your responsibilities (you’re definitely going to have to roll up your sleeves in a small shop)
-make a timeline as to how long you will give this a go and define what criteria and timeline you used to decide to stay/go
-double up on your networking - both for the new firm but also you personally, if this doesn’t pang out.
