Manoa Innovation Center Luck We Live Hawaii!…read moreShark Tank, Dragon's Den, Billion Dollar Investor, West Texas Investors Club......... and the list goes on of the new entrepreneur boom. No- I don't have a business. I don't own a business. My dad had a family hobby business for us 25 years ago but stopped. I am an educator by trade and education. If you are going to look for doing business though here in Hawaii- looking in research books at the University of Hawaii is no longer the only option for you. The Manoa Innovation Center seems to have gotten some seed grant money to make a space available for those that are looking to becoming big big big entrepreneurs. DevLeague seems to have a large enough space for tech students to go a non-traditional schooling route to bypass a university degree and go straight into coding. I found this Manoa Innovation Center because they held a Hackathon. Some very helpful people have suggested that I step out of my comfort zone and join different events to talk to people outside of my expertise. So go to a Hackathon. Manoa Innovation Center seems to be doing well in the new area of 'shared space.' There are a few of these different kind of spaces popping up like Box Jelly, ProtoHub, or Agora. Manoa Innovation Center is more on the tech side - think more coding/ 3d printing/ tech space instead of open floor space. People there are smart in their fields. I am glad I went to my first event - out of the box has a whole new meaning for me now- and I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer - been around the world and I thought I had seem most of it all.

Being able to make my own hours and choose where I want to work from is great but there are times when I miss having an actual "office." No water cooler discussions, no best "work" friends, no office gossip, no paper airplane contests. I recently discovered Resource Suites and it's now my "office" when I feel like pretending I have a 9 to 5 job. Located on the third floor of the Landmark Waikiki building, Resource Suites is a hybrid office built for entrepreneurs, start-ups and people like me who work in their pajamas. You can rent a furnished office space or just work out of the general work space and get your mail sent there. No more PO Box for me! I usually set-up in the cubicle side with my laptop and get an amazing amount of work done during the days that I choose to be there. The problem sometimes with working out of your home is that you often have the distractions of your personal life around you such as laundry, dishes, TV, random food, etc. When you work out of a virtual office such as this you can just concentrate on the tasks at hand. The office is pretty swanky, air conditioned and has a very professional appearance. There's a receptionist to greet anyone who comes to have a meeting with you and a conference room is available as well. They've got everything you need to run your business (printers, binding machines, Wi-Fi) and you can even hire in-house secretarial help. I'm going to get all my Yelp packages sent there because I am tired of missing the UPS/FedEx guy and being forced to drive out to the airport! I think that Resource Suites represents how technology is changing where and how we work. No longer do you have to be chained to a desk but if you choose to do it for productivity's sake then this is a place for you!

They provide a professional environment with a reception area, day offices, co-working space and conference rooms. It is a perfect office for individuals who are starting their own business. Without the commitments and obligations of leasing your own office, Resource Suites lets you reserve your office space by the hour! I look forward to hosting business meetings with clients in the future at Resource Suites.

I also like that I can lock up my cubicle and leave my things in case I need to step outside. #2, at first I didnt know how to feel about the location but after I saw all the good eats. I was sold. I also love walking and Iolani Palace is right down the street. It feels nice to take a real break than WFH. #3, great customer service and accessibility and they worked with me being able to come as early as 6 Am. This is my go to work place.

My contact, Jadeen, was a great help: responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly! The space was clean, well-lit, and comfortable. I appreciated that I could lock the office so I could leave for lunch without having to carry all my things. The building parking is a reasonable price, a little under $20 for the day. There is an non-public bathroom within the Kukui Hub offices and a cute little kitchenette. Great experience.

Congratulations Hawaii Juice Garden!…read more Celebrating their second anniversary Angie of Hawaii Juice Garden has selected Treehouse Coworking as it's venue for it's gathering after finding this gem catering another for party which was held here. With many areas that you're able to do various works the one that did capture all of our attention is the area in the back which is a full sized gathering area with a kitchen including a full sized refrigerator, kitchen island surrounding a sink with seating, a nook seating and yes a bathroom as well. The connecting outdoor area is the real selling point in my opinion which is quite huge lined with artificial grass and a few fun outdoor chairs makes is a great photo op and a space to just escape. This Kahala location is conveniently located right across Kahala Mall though the parking situation is tight as it does share space with other tenants with only about a dozen stall isn't very much though there are a few street parking nearby but when you're expecting a crowd but a great place to for a group or just yourself to get things done and that's what Angie did...congratulations! Thank you!

Making ideas come alive and get things happen is so inspiring!…read more A life long crafter everything sparks my brains and gets sparks my creativity, Hub Coworking Hawaii is just a lovely place to keep that passion flowing. What got me super excited for this event they have called "Clothing Swap Party" how cool is that! Just bring your unneeded clothing, shoes and purses and who doesn't have that what they do is have these tables and racks to hang and layout your clothing where we are allowed to browse and see the potential item you like to add to your wardrobe. Also there is The Skin Institute with students ready to provide a consultation on your skin condition and products they'd recommend to treat it. I had a delightful student Esthetician named Sstarr and went over my skin which I assumed and the course of products she recommend, along with a coupon for 10% off facial is a great start to a glowing complexion. I did find a shirt but wasn't really looking for a swap like so many here were delightfully enthusiastic just to see it going somewhere that will be loved and appreciated than the trash or lost in the donation bin, which isn't where what's left is going to a non-profit...fabulous! Once the swap was basically done I did get to browse around the area which looked like a fun lofty vibe with different pods and seating area and kitchen is super cute! Follow them on Instagram @hubcoworkinghi as the members aren't the only one with plans as they have calendar filled with events supporting local is just beautiful. Sometimes it takes a village and collaboration makes working together a great community support. Thank you!

A free pop-up movie in Honolulu...at Impact Hub!…read more Amy found a free movie through Eventbrite and I was so excited to go! I've always wanted to see "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" and this was it! Yay! Thanks, Amy! I actually parked for free right across the street at Whole Foods. Impact Hub does have it's own parking lot, and you can get validation. Inside, the workspace (available for rent) is clean, colorful, and spacious. There are restrooms, showers, telephone booths, desks, chairs, tables, a kitchen with microwave, and a plain white wall for projections... This is where we gathered and watched the story of Fred Rogers of the television show, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". This venue was perfect for a casual get together. Tonight's event was sponsored by PBS. There was a good variety of snacks - and water was available in reusable cups. Afterwards, I realized that I had been here before. My friend's wife graduated from esthetician school at this place! Wow...it's a versatile space!

Modern design, high ceilings, open layout, and plenty of natural light streaming in. The common areas feel welcoming, with a nice balance between quiet spots for focused work and communal spaces where you can connect with other entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives. There are also individual booths for working in solitude, as well as conference rooms for group sessions. The classroom was well lit and the sound system worked perfectly, which made following along easy and enjoyable. If you're interested in coworking or booking space, check out their website for rates: sandboxhawaii.org. The only challenge I had was finding the building the first time since it blends in with the rest of the John A. Burns School of Medicine complex. Tip: it's the first building on the right facing the road as you're heading Diamond Head. Parking is plentiful right out front, which makes it super convenient. Overall, a fantastic place for learning, networking, and working in a comfortable and inspiring environment.

Entrepreneur Sandbox is located right in Kaka'ako right beside UH on Ilalo St and with lots of parking available makes is a great spot to spark that imagination and on this night they had Clothing Swap Party which is a simple concept of bringing clothes, accessories, totes to swap as they provided tables to place your items and search. Community gathering to swap unwanted items going instantly to homes is nothing more than a great way to support those that are looking for items as well as I've overheard folks saying that that don't have much is so unfortunate and there nothing more that makes me happy than to see my items snatched which I did and it felt great. Love the loft vibe they have here and the location as it offers very easy parking and hope that they continue to have events like this as everyone had a great time finding new items to their wardrobe which they also provide fitting room as well. Awesome spot for all to enjoy as I was really surprised how many showed up and embraced it all. Thank you!

It was quiet, calm with lots of street parking at the Innovation Center. We were pleasantly surprised at how actually calm, clean and well maintained the building is. Not to mention many eateries are located in the area. Parking isn't as good, street parking are all metered and always taken. Very busy building with Geico, Liquor commission, Progessive, OHA (but they moved) and of course my company (which I won't name, lol). With all the foot traffic it is relatively quiet. I'm surprised that the wait for an elevator is quite short. Great building, the building management team are all very friendly. Don't like the fire drills and all those steps, that's what we get for being on the higher floors. Oh and we haven't lost power yet! We deal with a lot of electronic equipment and have yet to shut the building down :). Conveniently located off of Kapiolani Blvd, oh...and there is always a nice breeze. Take a small break, walk out of the building, have a seat and enjoy the wind! Just don't let your bosses catch you.
