Why do entrepreneurs approach investors only when they need money?

Does it really make sense?

It is hard for an investor to assess an entrepreneurs character, ability, and thought process in a short period of time.

It is difficult for an investor to analyze your product, traction and market in a couple of meetings

The best relationships in life develop over a period of time, and by mutual trust and respect, not by having FOMO

Start spending small amounts of time from today, so you have a list of primed up investors ready to fund you if/when you need capital in the future

You need to sow to harvest!
