Sorry but that statement is really weird. Since when does a lot of money mean to succeed? There are tons of examples of crypto projects or startups that have taken a lot of money and ultimately failed. I'm not saying that's what EOS needs to be, but EOS isn't the holy cow as you represent. EOS is still struggling with security problems and flaws. Besides, I can't see that EOS has solved a major problem, unlike Komodo. And Komodo has much less money available, but talented and dedicated developers.
I read somewhere someone wrote that
good projects come from good team, bad projects come from bad teams
But I disagreed with that, because good projects come from good teams, but bad projects can come from both bad teams and good teams.
Sometimes even good teams can fail with their projects. Some products need time, special time to get success.
Steve Jobs is a great man, but he failed sometimes, right?
