Investor Follow-Ups: Wait or Nudge?

by a searcher from The University of Chicago - Booth School of Business

Investors said they'd respond in a week but haven't. Should I follow up or wait?
I have 4-5 in this situation. In banking, I waited at least two weeks before following up, but does the same apply to search funds?
Thoughts, experiences?

Nudge but ask them- please just let me know where you are at and what's holding you back (if anything) its super helpful for me to know what you like and dislike about the deal.

If someone said a week and didn't respond it is incumbent upon you to follow up.
