Pitch competition wins feel good. But wins on paper don't translate to money in the bank if you're ghosting in the follow-up. Kareen breaks down why the relationship matters more than the pitch—and why most founders treat investor follow-up like a one-time ask instead of a real conversation.
You'll learn how to stay visible without being pushy, why timing and alignment reshape funding decisions, and how to detach from the outcome so you can actually move forward. Growth doesn't come from chasing yes. It comes from believing in your vision so hard that you only accept money from the people who belong in your business.
