How to network with PE firms if you are currently doing a deal together?

What is the best way to network with firms that you are currently doing a deal with? I've been fortunate to have a strong amount of deal experience in my first year of banking which is putting me in direct contact with associates / vps/ principals at a lot of PE firms. Should I wait until the deal closes before reaching out, or is it okay to reach out during the deal to "learn more about the firm." I think I could use this to my advantage but not sure the best way. Thanks.
