Not all crypto projects requires funds in order for the project to be a success, if we have to look at things in one angle we will see that it cost nothing to build an ERC20 token today, to build up a website isn't much too, there are many projects that survives and become very big without ICO or any fundraising
That's right, and usually projects that are successful without raising funds are projects that have real products and they are always in demand by everyone, which causes the project to last long in crypto and have very good progress.
