Hey! Just curious if just like investment companies partner up on syndication deal, one brings the deal, the other the capital, the other one secures the loan, etc. Do developers do that also? Meaning, is it common that a small, starting-out developer goes to a big (or just a bigger) developer and tells them they can bring value by maybe bringing private capital/investment capital from private investors and have equity in a project and be involved in it? Is that a common way to get noticed and start growing?
