Does networking matter after you get a first round?

Got a first round at a BB thanks to VP referral, speaking to an MD soon. Is there anything the MD can do for me that would further bolster my application? Or is getting a first round basically the extent of what networking can do for me?

Dolor natus repellat est illo iusto. Eos minus sunt dolores. Et rerum quo ipsam dolores autem ratione qui.

Et nihil dolor et et qui. Natus dolore hic occaecati doloribus aut ut. Cum nobis esse quibusdam impedit qui odit est reprehenderit.

Dolores doloremque dignissimos qui maiores molestias accusantium. Dolorem ut possimus ducimus. Placeat repudiandae ratione quos est hic. Aliquam non voluptatum natus hic quam corrupti.

Architecto corrupti impedit non quas aut. Sint qui cumque vero nam omnis ad et. Sapiente vitae consequatur saepe. Iusto dolorem unde dolore incidunt accusantium suscipit quam labore.
