I don’t think networking matters that much. In the tech business at least.
Most of my business are in new niches where I knew no one. This is fine. People are usually nice, open, and want to work with you if you can demonstrate value. Relying on your network can throw in the wrong way as people just don’t know the specific of whatever industry you are in. The hardest thing is execution not befriending smart or influential people.
