"Ghosting" seems like a common phenomenon across different types of human interaction. There's dating, interviewing, and even pitching investors. This was a common experience for me pitching my company last year: 1. Investor likes my co enough to schedule an in-person meeting 2. I meet investor in person to pitch 3. I send them a followup email 4. Radio silence I'd read that investors like to keep you in limbo instead of passing, I just didn't realize these well-respected professionals would value someone highly enough to give them an hour of their day, but low enough to neglect all followup communication. In retrospect I don't think it's a big deal, but I felt bad about it at the time.
