A day or two is nothing. Building these relationships takes time.

When I finished raising my pre-seed round I had a big list of investors that I had talked to, some a warm, some said no, some said yes. I always asked them if I could put them on my cool updated list, and then shared fun things with them (short emails - 4 sentences and a screenshot, hey look what we did!)

By the time it came to raise seed we were 2.5x oversubscribed in 2 weeks - because I had spent the previous year relationship building with all of them.

Remember VCs are reviewing a bunch of companies all at once, you are not the only thing they have to think about today.

Follow up in a few days, and send a short (20 seconds max) video attached in case they don’t have time to organise to see the demo.

VCs are busy so “do the work” for them, don’t ask a question - ask a question, anticipate the answer and then send the answer too.

These are long term relationships you are building so treat them as such.
