In response to the request for additional teaming capabilities, Entrepreneur Futures Network has developed the following resources as a reference for individuals and organizations interested in teaming up with one another. Please feel free to leverage this platform or the forum for this prize to make connections with other entities that may be interested in collaborating. 

EFN will also be providing a demo to use the platforms during the two upcoming live networking events on March 30 and April 13.
