I'm new so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but it seems totally sensible to start building relationships with investors early.

I think it's just the opportunity cost of time. There are like a million investors nowadays, it's not really feasible to start building relationships with all of them when you have so many other priorities of actually running the business

deals also sour over time. It's often easier to get something done quickly with momentum after a few short meetings than it is to give an investor tens of hours to not fall in love.

Have you not found that many of your potential investors are giving back? Or does it feel like all take?

unless a firm is chasing hard or there's a deal on the table, I've seen a firm provide meaningfully useful resources between fundraises that are commiserate with the time cost.
