2. What percentage of your business involves corporate clients?
Venture Up: 100 percent.

3. Do you use sub-contractors for your programs?
Venture Up: No. All Venture Up programs are created and provided by in- house permanent staff to ensure consistency and quality. We are, however, hired as sub-contractors by training firms, incentive houses, and destination management companies in the U.S. and Europe to augment training curricula or deliver event programs. In such cases, we provide services under that organization's name.

4. How many people have participated in your programs?
Venture Up: More than 100,000 clients have participated directly in Venture Up's programs in the U.S. and abroad. This figure does not include programs for which we are sub-contracted by other corporate training firms, incentive houses or destination management companies.

5. Can you describe a typical client?
Venture Up: We work with organizations of all types and sizes, and have more team building clients than any other organization in the world. Many of our clients are also winners of the Malcolm Baldridge Award, such as Xerox, Federal Express, ATT and GTE. Venture Up also has a long-standing track record working on the inside of many of the world's leading firms. In terms of client satisfaction, Venture Up's list of Clients and Testimonials speaks for itself.

6. What theories or philosophies does your company aspire to?
Venture Up: Venture Up's Philosophy is based in the belief that the quality movement is here to stay . We believe a quality company is rooted in the power of the individual in creating a high performance team and hence a successful organization. Our goal is to provide realistic experiences which empower individuals to contribute to common goals through effective individual and team behaviors. It is through the accomplishment of common goals, through combined individual talents that teams are forged and true quality is achieved.

7. What is the educational and professional experience of the facilitators in your programs?
Venture Up: The quality of our programs is reflected in our staff, a well balanced blend off academic, professional and international experience. All Venture Up leaders are well educated professionals, carrying a master's or bachelor's degree from well-known accredited universities.

8. Where is your administrative office? Where do you operate?
Venture Up:Our administrative office is in Phoenix, Arizona and we have satellite facilities and resort partners across the U.S. and internationally.

9. Do you own, maintain and transport your equipment?
Venture Up: Yes. Venture Up's commercial fleet of vans and trucks are seen on highways across the U.S. The fact that we own rather than rent our program equipment -- from our state- of- the-art sound systems, event tents, electronic game shows, tribal drums, mountain bikes to our portable challenge course -- ensures clients a top quality program at the right price, since the middlemen for renting such equipment are eliminated. For international programs, we use portable programs that travel and set up easily, and also build program materials on site.

10. Do you have safety policies and procedures in force?
Venture Up: Yes. Our safety and enrollment records are second to none in the world and unmatched in Arizona. We have never had a serious accident, rescue or insurance claim -- either for liability or workman's compensation. In terms of high adventure programming, we are accredited by the AMGA, who found our safety practices exceed industry standard in all areas.
