Please don't get me wrong, but it seems a lot of work in the wrong thing instead of developing and improving the product, even more wrong if you are a solo. Just my opinion.

Maybe it's just me, but I always thought wearing your company t-shirt makes you look obnoxious, specially if no one has heard of the company.
it is just you (kidding). How would they hear of you? Why not wear a t-shirt! T-shirts are a pretty low-cost investment in promotion. I can buy a black shirt with a single color imprint for $3.50 in small runs. A good pen with the company name on it would cost the same. (source: I have been buying giveaway crud for 20+ years) Giving away a metric ton of shirts can have some other interesting effects. In the early day…
1) Wear your Company T-shirt heh. I've actually thought about this a lot. I always wear a company shirt, yeah, but I also tend to wear the same clothing all the time, too, on the theory that it makes me more recognizable, and that being recognized is good. My theory (which may, of course, be wrong) is that in branding? being consistent and recognizable is far more important than looking good. But then, I'm trying to…

"One thing Singaporeans love to talk about is FOOD and I made sure our conversation was filled with that." Isn't your company called LOVE WITH FOOD? Aren't you supposed to talk about food regardless?
Meeting 75 investors is a great indication of much entrepreneurs (here Aihui) believe in what they are doing and ready to go to what extent. Rejections can get on to you and worst is when they start making you doubt the very purpose of what you are doing. It becomes difficult to fuel yourself with passion all the time. Some of the meetings even get you great feedback (along with VC boilerplates). But alls well that e…
