I don’t know re: fundraising, but my advice re: job interviews is similar.
Assume the first 3 will be NOs, just because you need specific practice. Do them with companies that are not first choices. Learning opportunities.
Then, you’re ready for shooting at your mark.

And if by any chance you get an offer at a company you don’t like, just refuse. You’ll still gain confidence & information about salary negotiations, interviews, etc.
They’ll make you better at interviewing at companies you want to work for, and at eventual salary negotiations

I personally began interviewing during my second year of university. I only accepted a job during my last one. All that experience doing interviews meant I could filter bad employers and get a good shot at my preferred one, for which I ended up working for 3 fulfilling years.
Had I not practiced when I didn’t want a job, I’d probably have accepted the first job offer around graduation time, even if the colleagues were unfriendly and the salary offer lowballed.
