Ask HN: Is it time to give up, or is it time to push on?

Boring details: I started a company in July aimed at creating a new fantasy sports platform, focused on stat-heavy leagues, dynasty leagues, niche sports, eSports, and tabletop games.

Our CTO was hired away last month, our two other developers are learning Node and Angular, but not much progress has been made on the product. Lead developer doubts we'll get a product out before baseball season.

Haven't been able to find a replacement CTO/lead architect to help lead the development side.

Angels and VCs say we're too early, need usage stats to invest.

I'm not going to be able to make rent for January.

Stress is getting to me. I'm thinking I should just shut the whole thing down, but I've got that voice that says, "Giving up is way harder than trying".

Any advice would be appreciated.
