Honolulu Startup / Entrepreneur / Marketing Networking or Meetup Groups?

4 points by kaisdavis ↗ HN
Hey HN,

I just moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. Is there a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly startup / entrepreneurs / marketing meetup?

I'd love to meet some cool HN users & entrepreneurs over here in Honolulu. Let me know if there are any events I should check out!

p.s., if you're in Honolulu and would like to get coffee, shoot me an email at kai@kaisdavis.com. I'll buy.

Not really. There are monthly tech meetups (Wetware wednesday, which this month is held on a friday in a sort of local company showcase: http://wetwarewednesday.eventbrite.com/). There's not much of a startup scene because there are almost no startups. There's really not that much tech at all other than government/military. It kinda sucks, but hey, you're living in paradise :)

I keep trying to complain about paradise and then — NOPE! — it's a tropical island.

What about beyond a startup scene? Entrepreneur meetups? Marketing associations? People Who Like Making Money Online coffee hangouts?

Not much I can think of, other than Startup Weekends which are held here about twice a year. Speaking of which, most of the people there are business-minded folk so there is probably an opportunity for entrepreneurship meetups.

http://techhui.com is probably the best online community for tech-related stuff here. You might want to explore around there and ask the same question.

(Edit: I didn't really answer your question about business meetups beyond startups; But I wouldn't know much about that anyway since I'm just a developer)
