Venture Ready Report tm.
The Venture Ready™ Report focuses on two fundamental questions about any venture: “Is it a business?” and, “Can you keep it?” Every venture is evaluated extensively on six elements key to a ventures success:
Is it innovative?
Can it create value?
Will it persist over time?
Will it create economic scarcity?
Can it maintain value?
Is the venture inherently flexible?
Using pattern recognition technology the venture is compared to successful ventures on a multitude of issues ranging from product, technology, markets, management, scalability, stage of development, to determine the viability of the venture. Once issues are identified, solutions suggested, then a comprehensive resource guide helps direct actions and assists with their implementation, thus building a successful venture.

Individual Entrepreneurial Expertise Assessment tm.
This tool has been created to assist you as an entrepreneur, whether you’re already in business, or just beginning to think about becoming involved with a new business. You will fill out a questionnaire that has been designed especially to evaluate your readiness to venture, but may also be useful to a wider range of interested parties including partners, venturing team members, financial backers, and service providers. Each should find the information provided in this assessment to be of interest and potentially valuable when dealing with the very specialized requirements of entrepreneurship. It may also illuminate your own “blindspots” in venturing, perhaps saving you valuable time, money, or both. You will receive two sets of results, both are current “snapshots” of your ability and can change over time:
First, is your venturing “TYPE”
This assessment maps 16 venturing types. With your assessment results, you will be able to identify the basic outline of your personal venturing posture, as well as what you need to do to enhance your entrepreneurial expertise and, therefore, improve your chances for success.
Second, is your venturing “ROLE” (that you are likely to play in a business “at present”)
There are eight defined roles in the venturing process; your assessment results will indicate the role in which you are presently most likely to be successful. The real value of the projected venturing role is in assisting you to understand your strengths and in evaluating areas where you might need to involve others with additional expertise, or seek training to increase your chances of success.
