Network after First Round?

Hello there everyone, I recently had a first round at a boutique firm for SA 27. It went really well in my opinion, I am waiting to hear back if I will get a second round.

I have not done any networking for this firm, just cold applied and got round 1. I understand there's any one more round after this and it's a superday with a MD. Should I network within the firm in preparation or will that come off too hardo?
