Network events will probably not make or break your startup. So relax on that front.

Focus on the product and clients. This means speaking to clients either over email or in-person (or on the phone? not sure if there's an voice app).

It sounds like your nervous and worried about how everyone else is so busy. I could infer that you might not value what you have to say which could come across in conversation. People then won't listen which creates a negative feedback loop. Try to figure out how to break that perception.
