Nice article. I just had a similar experience: after a bunch of work building a product, I came to the realization that the problem I was trying to solve just wasn't urgent enough, and the organizations I was trying to sell to just didn't have it together enough to decide to buy. So ultimately I decided to shut things down, though I did manage to salvage some of the code for reuse in later projects. Ultimately, entrepreneurship is an experiment, and sometimes what an experiment teaches you is that your hypothesis was wrong and you should try something else instead.
