Thanks! Could super conductors help increase efficiency or density? Why or why not?
Could this be a viable space to launch a start up? With launch costs coming down there could be a lot of demand for more efficient thrusters.

Yes, it is. There's a lot of small thruster startups out there. See Orbion, Thrustme, and Applied Ion Systems for examples.
