    Defy Ventures is an entrepreneurship, employment, and character training blended online program for people with criminal histories. Defy recognizes that many former drug dealers and gang leaders can become successful, legal entrepreneurs. We “transform the hustle” of our formerly incarcerated Entrepreneurs-in-Training (EITs) by offering intensive leadership development, Shark Tank-style business plan competitions, executive mentoring, financial investment, and startup incubation. We offer our EITs a legitimate chance to succeed and equip them to become profitable entrepreneurs, stellar employees, engaged parents, and committed role models and leaders in their communities. We intentionally build life-giving, authentic community between EITs and our executive volunteers as they bond in their humanity.

    Australia's national accommodation ratings organization has formed a long-term strategic partnership with ReviewPro to provide the company’s guest intelligence solution to accommodation providers across the country.

    In the first phase of the two-phase project, Australia’s Star Rated properties will have access to ReviewPro’s online reputation management platform and Global Review Index™ (GRI), the B2B online reputation score used by hotels worldwide as a benchmark for guest satisfaction, based on consumer review data collected from 142 online travel agencies (OTAs) and review sites in more than 45 languages.

    With these tools, Star Rated properties in Australia will obtain deeper insight into operational and service strengths and weaknesses from online feedback, so they can increase guest satisfaction and drive revenue growth. As Australia is one of the ten largest tourism destinations worldwide, and as the partnership provides ReviewPro’s solution to thousands of Australian properties, this represents a powerful new model for supporting hotel quality and improving guest experience across the country.

    In the second phase of the partnership, ReviewPro’s Guest Rating Score™ will be available to consumers alongside the independent Star Ratings, delivering a powerful and reliable information source for travelers wanting to shortlist and book accommodation in Australia.
