What Team Building Nation does

Team Building Nation, LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped corporate team building services company founded around 2010 by Ray Assanti and headquartered in Naples, Florida. The company designs, sells, and delivers more than 100 team building programs to corporate event planners, HR teams, and conference/DMC partners, with formats spanning in-person, virtual, and hybrid delivery across 180+ cities in North America and internationally. Its product portfolio spans competitive and collaborative activities, game shows (Jeopardy-style, Family Feud-style, Price Is Right-style, Wheel of Fortune-style), scavenger hunts powered by its proprietary trademarked iHunt® tablet application, culinary competitions, professional development workshops, charitable/CSR builds (bikes, wheelchairs, guitars, care packages), and self-led DIY options.

The underlying technology stack centers on the iHunt® application (delivered on iPads®), custom-built game show software with authentic visuals, sound effects, and scoring, and a virtual event platform integrating with Zoom and other video tools to support breakout rooms, polling, and real-time scoring for large-group events up to 3,000+ participants. The company has developed a charity partner ecosystem spanning more than a dozen national nonprofits (Feeding America, Boys & Girls Clubs, DAV, USO, St. Jude, Make-A-Wish, Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, and others) that anchors its CSR/charitable product line.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: events are quoted based on event type, group size, venue, customization level, and logistics, with no travel fees within the continental US. GTM is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct outreach to corporate event planners and HR teams with a DMC and event planner referral channel that receives special discounting for recurring bookings. The customer base is concentrated in large enterprises — Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, Siemens, PepsiCo, Biogen, Chase, Fidelity, Liberty Mutual, Textron, Estée Lauder, Bacardi, BASF, AbbVie, Novartis-class names — alongside universities, government agencies, and nonprofits. The company is led by founder/CEO Ray Assanti with a lean team of approximately 15-20 named facilitators, program designers, and operations staff, and reports 15+ years of operating experience with 51+ five-star Google reviews.
