What are partner(ships) looking for?

[Adam Dassie]

I m new to REI, and I was wondering about partnerships. I am in the military currently,and so, I have to move every few years. I am in the process of moving in the next few months. I want to get out and start making connections. I am not sure I have currently have a lot to offer in my current position, but I was wondering what the financial partners are looking for.

Is it the partnerships that come first or the deals? I think it is the partnerships in most cases, and if I am right what would be the best way to find a partner to build a relationship with that would be okay investing in different parts of the country (world?)

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
