Maybe you should regroup and try to make this your next startup?

As alluded to by some of the comments, this was probably a misguided effort for the original startup but could be worth pursuing by itself.

I believe this is how the likes of Slack, twitter and a number of other companies came to be.

Twitter was a pivot? How have I never heard that? What was their original product?
