I built a mobile platform that allows celebs to do pay per minute meet and greets from their phones. We moved some celebs through the app and had a few hundred successful meet and greets that raised $10k+ (we donated it all to charity). My partners lost interest and no one is using the app anymore. The platform is loaded with functionality…I don’t want it to die and go to waste. What should I do?
