How long after a Partner interview should I expect a response?

I've just been through the process with a VC fund, I had done 3 stages, including a written portion, 1 to 1 with the Investment Manager, a 2-hour case study with the partners and an informal chat with 4 members of the team. After the informal chat I reached out a day after to thank them and hear about an update, where they said they are trying to finalize the process but I was their top candidate so far and they hope to have a response for me soon on their decision . 

Im a chronic overthinker and cant tell what to get from this, how long should I expect to wait before a 2nd reach out, the last email was from the previous Friday.

Reiciendis amet nihil explicabo sed sunt vero ipsam. Quis aliquam quod sit quis voluptatem excepturi et. Placeat voluptatem totam nostrum iste quidem. Dolores corrupti numquam voluptatem. Aperiam cumque natus velit.
