The key point is that you had something complete, it wasn't a vague idea.
In some sense, your prototype was "a product". It wasn't adequate in many ways.
I mention product because the "suits" are offering "I need someone to improve my product" terms while expecting "I need someone to build a product from my idea".
There's a huge gap between "a decent social site" and the minimal facebook, and market research and bizdev don't address that gap.
