If you solve this then you will solve most of the problems. I have seen many teams with little funding survive because their primary mentor went out of their way to do what ever they needed to keep the team running. You lose that mentor and the team disappears.

This is also a major reason why it is hard to start new teams. You need to find that mentor who is crazy enough to start a team.
