Editorially is shutting down

Seems strange to shut-down the business after only four months post-public launch.

It feels like in this space your best options are to go free and push for scale or to go after premium markets.

Writers tend not to have huge budgets, but professionals such as PR teams and lawyers also need heavyweight tracking/collaboration tools and have the money to pay for a solution.

This is exactly what I was hoping would happen. The thing is, the problem they were trying to solve is a big one for organizations where a lot of writing gets done. But for whatever reason, the product was focused on individual writers.

Also not sure what the rationale is for not open sourcing. At the very least it gives former employees something to show around.

Not enough time for a pivot. Does this mean folks aren't starting with enough cash to get through the initial hurdles?
