Founders – when you get ghosted.
That’s ok.
Remind yourself…
That these are the types of individuals that can’t afford you in the next round anyway. 😉

What is and isn’t ghosting?
It’s considered ghosting if you never hear back, after a couple follow-ups. Give the benefit of the doubt to investors, and make the effort to check back in, before assuming this.
It’s not ghosting if you’ve never started a formal process with an investor for the current round. A non-response to a cold email isn’t ghosting. There should be at least a call or a clear demonstration of interest.
It’s also not ghosting if you already received a pass note. That is closing the loop and exactly the clarity you are looking for.
