This is why good projects attend a lot of crypto events and network with people.
Though bounties help a project to create popularity and hype among crypto users, the main investment and funds is brought in by the team's marketing and closing ability.
I don't know about
crypto events and network with people is really working as I have a strong distrust for that since the old MLM, ponzi scheme crypto always focuses on looking grand on these events. Not many people making their choice of investment base on their event alone and not many people willing to participate in it too.
