i know most "startup" design/agency shops are started by spin off employees that have developed a good relationship with a client and take them and a few key people (AE, PM, media person, production person) with them and start a new shop, it happens all the time actually... most of it is spawn from back room deals or hand shakes at a pool table in a titty bar-via the T.G.O.B N. (The Good Old Boy Network), yes sad but true, don't know if you want to tell your students that, but the most important thing you want to teach them is (along with relationship building) how to apply and enforce contracts and billing - eventually expanding from home to office and all the logistics of growth and of course as kOna says, never hire your friends...
