WHAT: Beer and Business
WHERE: Hukilau Restaurant, Executive Center
WHEN: Tuesday, November 17, 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm

The next Beer and Business is right around the corner!  This time we’re working with Global Entrepreneurship Week to be the official cocktail party of the event!  We’ll have two of the top companies from the Pitch Competition presenting to show you what’s new and exciting in the Hawaii start up scene.

Beer and Business Nights are produced in conjunction with Hawaii Business Magazine to bring together the Hawaii business community in a casual environment.  We’re helping local entrepreneurs, executives, and investors get to know each other over good drinks and good conversation.

We’ll be hosting the next fabulous Beer and Business event at the Hukilau Restaurant right under the Executive Center Tuesday, November 17 from 530 pm to 830 pm.

I want to give a big thank you to Kolohala Venture Fund, Puna Geothermal, HiBeam, and Adecco.  They’ve generously agreed to sponsor the next Beer and Business event and, as a result, we’re going to be able to offer two free drinks per guest for the first 100 guests.  Also, mahalo to HVCA, the Hawaii Science and Technology Council, and Entrepreneurs Foundation for their continued support.

As usual, we’ll have two companies each making 5-minute presentations showcasing their experience in Hawaii.  We’ll be announcing each company shortly.

After presentations we’ll open up the stage for anyone to get up and talk for 60 seconds about anything they want. You got something to say, say it!

Send any questions you have to lorenz@findmefit.com.  See you there!

A very special thank you to our sponsors:
