That alignment of incentives produces better risk-adjusted returns for everyone involved and dramatically increases the probability of success on the first few large transactions.Once I’ve cut my teeth on several of these alongside proven operators, I’ll have the resume, relationships, and confidence to lead larger deals independently.
