But I am curious about this "international image" he speaks of.
How dare you question someone like that, he might reveal that he is Satoshi in disguise or even Craig Wright 
I have gained international image in blockchain industry. Now i have plan to introduce a new coin. this will require around few of lakhs to turn into big sum project. I am ready to meet personally if anyone is intrested to join me.
What about the developers, are you a developer or you just have a million dollar idea like the rest of the crowd so that someone should invest in it.From what you have said you are in your infant stage and there is nothing concrete, for you to get any investor you have to convince your idea and why don't you use this platform to attract investors.
