E-Teams
 Studies show that an important factor in the success of high-technology start-ups is the ability of entrepreneurs to work as members of a team; new businesses launched by multiple co-founders have a greater chance of success than those started by individuals. These results suggest that one element of academic programs aimed at preparing students for careers in business and industry should be teams of students identifying and developing a solution to a practical problem or market need, and undertaking the steps necessary to translate that solution into a commercial product. Around the country, colleges and universities are experimenting with various forms of student teams. The The National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) calls its approach "E-Teams" (for excellence and entrepreneurship).
