HVCA Activities


The HVCA seeks to foster entrepreneurial development through networking, education, and access to venture capital.

On the fourth Thursday of every month we have a networking luncheon at the Plaza Club where members and guests hear from a keynote speaker and have the chance to network.

HVCA also hosts the Venture Capital Deal of The Year award ceremony in January, where entrepreneurs are honored for raising capital for their companies.

HVCA also provides mentors, coaches and judges for various entrepreneurial events such as the Hawaii High School Business Competition and the University of Hawaii Shidler Business School Business Plan Competition.

HVCA is also closely aligned with other key organizations that support Hawaii entrepreneurs such as Hawaii Angels, a statewide network of angel investors.

Our meetings are open to the public and anyone can participate with us. To receive notices of meetings and events please join us or become an HVCA friend.

Luncheons

Our luncheons and most other events are open to the public. However, membership in HVCA earns you discount on luncheons, a FREE subscription to HAWAII BUSINESS magazine, and discounts on other sponsored events.

In addition to exciting programs and networking, your membership entitles you to a discount on membership to the Plaza Club. Contact the Plaza Club, directly to learn more about this exceptional offer. Combined these discounts far exceed the cost of membership.

Additionally, you receive invitations to member only events and you have the satisfaction of contributing to an organization that helps companies in Hawaii grow. Fees for membership in HVCA are very modest. All Hawaii faculty are afforded access to our events at the member rates.

We have worked hard to make this web site fun and informative. You will find postings of important EVENTS, useful ARTICLES, a GALLERY of event videos, soundfiles of past meetings and photos of friends. Our DIRECTORY is easy to search and is a powerful networking tool. You can even take our VC IQ QUIZ or join our BLOG.



The Plaza Club

Every month (except November) the HVCA hosts a luncheon at the Plaza Club in downtown Honolulu. The luncheon features a keynote speaker and provides a valuable networking session.

Luncheons are held on the fourth Thursday of every month, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Plaza Club, located on the 20th floor of the Pioneer Plaza, 900 Fort Street Mall, Honolulu, Hawai'i.
