Hawai’i Women in Tech

🌺 Tech Community Night is back at Entrepreneurs Sandbox on Wednesday, where we put a fresh spin on our monthly pau hanas! At Tech Community Night, we aim to host an awesome networking event for local techies, founders, and investors with some delicious pupus and drinks — we also invite different groups to host engaging breakout sessions. This month will feature Piʻikū Co. and the Purple Maiʻa Foundation, local nonprofits dedicated to nurturing and deploying the next generation of tech talent within our community. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with our ecosystem partners and be a part of our thriving startup community.
