The overall impression I'm getting from this post is that this product you've created works, but you don't believe in the business case for it. You seem to have at least one other project about which you're passionate, and which you would be pursuing all-out - you seem to be getting all hung up on the guilt involved in abandoning the first one.

I say this is a classic example of the "sunk costs" fallacy. You're holding onto something bad because you've already put effort into it, instead of doing what's best for you. I say drop it like it's hot, and throw yourself into the new project.

You're in a fortunate position, as students - rare is the startup that can afford to realise it's working on the wrong product, back up, and change direction. Don't waste the opportunity!
