We are a coworkspace in Honolulu, Hawaii with a mission to “work the way you live, and live the way you work.” Coworking and coworkspaces bring home offices out of the home and into more productive environments. Coworkspaces eliminate distractions, and surround you with like-minded individuals who motivate and encourage you to get things done. “9 to 5ers” who always dreamed of starting their own business, but believed they didn’t know how or thought it was too expensive, now have a community of other entrepreneurs to gain ideas and advice from and have a place with affordable rent. With starting a small business so easy and cheap, many more small businesses will be created, stimulating Hawaii’s economy. Rent usually amounts to 40% of start up costs of a small business.
