How does one find partners experienced in doing CRE deals?
Let's take a hypothetical example...

Say a company, let's call it Acme Labs, has developed some new technology for sourcing great CRE deals. But all the people that work for Acme Labs are techies without any CRE experience.

Now, let's say Acme has located an investment platform, Blackstar, willing to promote the deals that Acme sources but the only problem is, Blackstar requires the Acme team to have an acceptable level of CRE experience.

How would the team at Acme Labs best go about getting that experience added to their team?
