Shut down

Although I had a handful of paying customers, I ended up shutting down Visual Office. The main driving force was bad founder-product fit. The prospects who were most excited by this tool were ones who wanted to monitor their employees in a way that I felt uncomfortable with (i.e. if your employees are getting their work done, why do you care if they are on slack?).

Since it also wasn't break even yet, I decided to shut it down to focus on my main business, WrestlingIQ.
