I've seen 3 companies that tried to disrupt email and bring alternatives to email and they all failed, they had great developers, great ideas but they still failed.

My question to your team would be, why do you think people want this. Are you seeing people claiming that they wish email was better? It is hard to change people's behaviors and this is the reason why these companies failed. I agree that there are better ways to communicate now, slack, hichpchat, facebook, but why try to reinvent the wheel.

People are not going to drop something reliable as email for a new fad. what would make your product different that would make me want to use it?

Cheers
