I am in the same boat, but for me it has been 10 years working on it and I stopped mostly doing anything else a few years ago and focusing 100% on this. I know should do something as not even competitors are closing 10m$+ investment rounds with incredibly low quality products compared to mine. I just don't live in san francisco and i don't know investors. Anyway: I am going to keep pushing, I guess my belief in the product and in myself is what keeps me going. After 10 years I still jump out of bed in the middle of the night to fix something or write a new feature i've been mulling. That's more important than money to me, but money we can unfortunately not go without in this life.

If only there was some program that could Combine You with investors and other business savyy people ;) Joke aside - wether it is investors or customers you are looking for, you gotta get out there. The quality of your product is all in vain if it does not reach your target audience.
Well in this case target means I guess people who pay as 100k+ people use it all day long, they just refuse to pay.
Yes, without paying customers there can be no business. It is great that you have such a userbase! Now you only have to convert a reasonable percentage into paying customers, somehow! If they are not interested in paying for what you have now, then you must identify what they would be willing to pay for. Better is to try figure out, what would they really love to pay for? Which problems do your users have that they would like to pay to get rid of (or substantially reduce)?
