Ghosted After Meeting that Went Extremely Well?

Hey WSO, so I am pretty young and met with the founder/CEO of a fund a few weeks back. The meeting went extremely well. We bonded like old friends over a lot of things and he spent much more time with me than was warranted considering that it was our second meeting after a really brief interaction - even put a call on hold to introduce me to the investment team. Since then, HR has been pretty nonexistent and acting as if they did not know who I was. How do I follow up? Do I reach out to his assistant and say that I am super interested? Really need some advice here. Thanks!
