"We kept getting great feedback from these groups"
If someone says "they love it" and "it looks awesome", or "that's such a great feature", that's just them being nice. Did they actually ask you for an account to use? Did they ask when it would go live so they could pay you?
If not perhaps there's no market. For whom isn't basic collaboration (aka Google docs) enough?
The only group I could reasonably see paying for this are the lawyers, and I don't see it happening (they're not know for being cutting-edge in tech adoption). But I've been wrong before :)
Yes I would abandon it.
P.S.: the startup school link doesn't work for me, looks like requires a login.

They all missed some features before they’d be willing to commit. We realise most of these people were probably just trying to be nice :) “The only group I could reasonably see paying for this are the lawyers, and I don’t see it happening (they’re not know for being cutting-edge in tech adoption). But I’ve been wrong before :)” Exactly, you’re not wrong, we’ve reached the same conclusion. Lawyers really suffer from this problem and see us as a potentially great solution but as one of them put it: “It took us 10 years to learn MS Word, we are not changing to something new.” Thanks for the honest feedback!
