> We don't solve any specific problem; This is your major problem. You built technology without a specific business case. Now you are trying to turn that into a business. This is a terrible position to be in for 2 reasons: You will be trying to fit problems to match your solution. Your solution doesn't have the nuance or context associated with a specific problem, which is usually required to have a compelling product. Of the options you list, #3 is just silly. No one is coming to save you. #2 is your best bet. Then again, I have no idea how you got $100K of funding for not solving a problem, so maybe you can convince those suckers to re-up for #1 again. Building technology is not the same thing as building a business. You guys blew $100K on technology, and now have no money to make a business. And now your are entertaining the idea of open sourcing the one resource you do have: your technology. Stop all this. It's tough, but fire everyone. You can't pay them and taking more money with no idea how to get more is, at least in my opinion, unethical. Go do consulting in spaces where this technology might be applicable. Understand what problems they have and try your best not to assume your messaging technology is the solution. If you are a lucky, you will find an actual problem that you can repurpose some of this technology to solve. Then and only then can you re-build this as a business.
