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 ends well.

Congrats to Aihui.

It takes a special kind of person, or a fanatical belief in yourself or the product/company, to handle rejection after rejection after rejection. Supreme confidence in the company and the ability to channel that confidence to investors can be as valuable as a great engineer.
