through February $2010.$ Defendant Beierling developed a concept for an educational software

business marketing online learning games to teachers. Beierling had contacts in the software and

educational arenas and wanted to stream the online games into classrooms through periodic paid

subscriptions. Beierling pitched her idea to two friends, Plaintiff Katie Urbain and Defendant

Maureen Clinesmith. Both Urbain and Clinesmith were interested, and the three women formed

a partnership. The partnership contained no written partnership agreement
