So what’s missing? The issue probably isn’t the partners… it's that you're not JV ready. Most entrepreneurs jump into JVs believing that exposure alone will create growth. But without the right foundations in place...

Who makes the best strategic partner? It's not necessarily the person with the biggest network or the best connections.
