The E-Team was created by Eric Nelson, member of the Entrepreneurship Club, and is composed of University of Minnesota students who have an interest in entrepreneurship.  It has three main intentions:

1) To serve the entrepreneurs in the local community with able-bodied, able-minded laborers.

2) To bring entrepreneurship and mentor ship to the members of the team.

3) To build business relationships between team members and entrepreneurs for future endeavors.
