Know When to Move On Not all investors will invest. Signs they’re not interested: - They stop responding entirely - They don’t engage with updates.

Track Your Follow-Ups Like a Pro Use a simple CRM (Airtable, HubSpot, or even a spreadsheet) to: - Log every investor interaction - Set reminders for follow-ups - Note their concerns & interests

Investors don’t want to miss out. Show them: - New investors joining your round - Surging growth metrics (revenue, signups) - Strategic partnerships - Press features or industry recognition

Timing Is Everything: The best follow-ups aren’t random. Here’s an ideal timeline: Immediately after the meeting: Thank-you email + recap key takeaways 2–3 weeks later: Update on traction, revenue, or product launch Every 4–6 weeks: Major milestone updates
