SAM Preccelerator Program Company Team(You) Announces Launch

TEAM-LOGO-TREATMENT-colorStubbs Alderton & Markiles’ client and Preccelerator Program company,
Team(You), a digital incentive tool, launched in June.
http://www.teamyou.co

The web application allows teachers and staff to administer incentive programs online. Through the system students are immersed in a token economy that increases financial literacy; the digital
tracking allows personalized student-teacher interactions.

The web application replaces incentives being widely used, like paper bucks or marbles in a jar through an easy to use seating chart interface. Students earn points for academic, life, and social skills like improving test scores, class participation, and helping out other students. Data is immediately recorded and can be analyzed by students and teachers.

Early demand is highest from innovative middle school principals looking to address the dropoff in student engagement in high school. “These principals are looking for the solution to that precipitous drop at the 8th grade,” says Andrew Cheeseman, Team(You) co-founder. “This system catches the students’ attention in 6th grade and continues with them through this critical growth spurt in their physical and emotional lives.”

Team(You) is the upgrade of a system with a seventeen-year development at after-school provider Bresee Foundation. Student engagement and enrollment boomed at the after school program, along with growth in the number of points students earned. Bresee students report that the chance to earn points was the reason they came, even on days they thought to skip.

Team(You) founder Cynthia Harrington, serial entrepreneur and financial services executive, volunteered to create a points-based financial curriculum that explained how the token economy was like real life, for which she was awarded the PF Bresee Award. Over 8,000 students have learned about earning and spending in real life while they accumulated over two million points.  “These students helped to write the curriculum from their own experiences,” says Harrington. “I added financial concepts as well as questions that challenged them to critical thinking about math as well as life problems.”

Demand for such a product was evident from the beginning. “‘Why can’t we have this?’ any school leader who saw the Bresee system would inevitably ask,” says Harrington. “With that kind of demand, we had a duty to make it available.”

The time tested software system from Team(You) makes it easier for teachers to administer incentive programs that most are already using, and it offers digital tracking of important behavioral trends. The program serves students of all ages; special features are designed for particularly critical years for increasing student engagement.

About Team(You)

Team(You) is the digital tool that increases school engagement. Education is one of the last industries to cut labor costs and to increase outcomes through the innovative use of technology. Team(You)’s proven system has value to classrooms across the world, and the company is meeting the challenge to bring enterprise-level software to individual use in the classroom. Founded in 2013 by serial entrepreneur Cynthia Harrington and backed by Wall Street and tech executives, the token economy that students find fun is a powerful learning tool for financial education. The relevant lessons and real-time reporting increases engagement across the school day and facilitates Common Core. Honoring the innovation that comes from the non-profit sector, Bresee holds an ownership stake in Team(You).

About 3Ten8

3TEN8 develops software that helps mobile network operators visualize network performance, analyze subscriber behavior and optimize their wireless networks; a state-of-the-art mobile device is only as functional as its wireless network. Currently, these networks are being managed by basic and inefficient tools. As telecom engineers, we grew tired of the shortcomings of these tools, so we took matters into our hands, dared to defy the status quo and created our own solution. 3TEN8 was founded by former employees of major telecommunications and software corporations. Merging the best of these two disciplines allowed us to develop an inspired and innovative software. By converting network data into easily understood and usable information, we have made it possible for engineers and executives to make more knowledgeable decisions. Ultimately better tools leads to happier engineers, improved networks, less dropped calls, and subsequently, happier customers and increased revenue. 3TEN8 targets 80+ mobile network operators in the U.S. and 800+ worldwide.
