Can I find funding partners at REI meetups?

[Leland James]

I'm a remodel contractor, I've been doing the work for five years. My work is top quality, my prices are low budget. This is a lot to offer right?? I do the work myself and manage the full project. I'm trying to leverage that and find funding partner(s), to find my deals for a 50/50 split. Can I find a potential partner like this at a REI meet up?? Do people like this actually exist and how could I get them on my team?? Any input is helpful. Thank you.
