teamup

Pool your efforts

A teamup is when two or more people or groups join forces for a common purpose, especially a notable or unexpected collaboration.

The term appears frequently in entertainment contexts—comic book heroes forming a teamup, musicians collaborating on a track: The Batman-Superman teamup was long overdue.

As a verb, to team up means to form such a partnership: They teamed up to solve the case.
