SUMMARY:Python Weekly: F-Strings & Asyncio
DESCRIPTION:Python Weekly: F-Strings & Asyncio\nWebsite: https://www.meetup.com/PyHawaii-Python-Users-Group/events/cnhwbryzmbgb/ \n  \nPythonistas\, \nWe generally host multiple topics at our 1st event of the month! This time we will be diving into topics such as: \n• F-strings: Have you ever struggled to get your output to look *just right*? Or have you just wanted to take some complexity out of constructing big strings out of smaller pieces? f-strings were in introduced in Python 3.6 to make string formatting easier than the %-strings and string.format() methods from earlier versions. Learn how to make all your output perfect in this introductory lesson on f-strings. \n• Asyncio: When you load something into your computer that has to wait on a remote machine\, your application grinds to a halt until the response is received. Sometimes your computer appears frozen for several seconds while simply waiting on data to come back. For this and many other scenarios\, async programming has become the go-to paradigm to avoid the complexity and confusion often associated with learning multi threading (the other major way to solve these problems). This lesson will provide a crash course in asyncio\, Python’s built-in library for asynchronous programming\, and will include a demo receiving data from a high-volume remote server while still being responsive to other tasks the program is trying to achieve. \n• An awesome Puzzle. \nAs always\, if you can’t make it\, please cancel your RSVP\, so folks on the wait list can join us. We hope to see you all on Wednesday! \n—————————————————————————————————— \nPlease join us at PyHawaii to: \n• Learn Python\, tools\, techniques\, frameworks and programming art and science\n• Meet local Pythonistas (grow your network)\n• Find cool projects to work on\n• Solve puzzles\n• Hang out\n• Have tons of fun in the process!

SUMMARY:Mastering Crowdfunding: Wefunder
DESCRIPTION:Mastering Crowdfunding: Wefunder\nExplore the rising trend of equity crowdfunding\, the new way to make investor matches. \nWebsite: https://xlr8hi.com/mastering-crowdfunding-wefunder/ \nAbout the Workshop\nStraight from the source\, Wefunder Fundraising Team member Kieran Ryan shares his take on how Wefunder and the equity crowdfunding path can work for you. You’ll get a crash course on the platform and how best to leverage its matchmaking potential. \nAbout Wefunder\nWefunder is like “Kickstarter for investing”\, a crowdfunding service which connects startups with investors online. Wefunder has helped more than 300 startups raise over $103 million of capital from 275\,445 investors. Unlike other crowdfunding platforms\, investors are not buying a product or donating to an artist. Instead\, they are investing in businesses with the hope of earning a return. \nFrom 1933 to 2016\, it was illegal to make an investment in a private company unless you were an “accredited investor” (i.e.\, rich). As a Y Combinator alumni company\, Wefunder was instrumental in helping Congress pass the JOBS Act in 2012 which paved the way for unaccredited investors to provide equity for entrepreneurial undertakings. Since May of 2016\, thanks to a new law called Regulation Crowdfunding\, it became legal for everyone to invest small amounts of money in the startups they believed in. \nToday\, Wefunder is the largest funding portal by dollars raised\, number of companies funded\, and number of investors. Because they know what it takes to work with good companies\, they have one of the best portfolios in the industry. Founders are busy running their startup\, so Wefunder does all the grunt work for you. More than that\, as founders themselves (not finance guys or bankers)\, Wefunder knows exactly what you are going through. \nAbout the Instructor\n \nKieran Ryan \nKieran is part of the Fundraising Team at Wefunder\, a crowdfunding service which connects startups with investors online. His main focus is on business development\, helping to connect more businesses to investors across the country. Through Wefunder\, Kieran has invested in multiple companies\, and hopes his investments can help companies make a measurable impact on as many people as possible. Prior to joining Wefunder\, Kieran founded his own marketing firm while attending the Haas School of Business at the University of California\, Berkeley. \nAgenda\n11:30 am – Networking \n12:00 pm – Workshop \n1:00 pm – Q&A \n1:30 pm – Networking \nWho is this for?\n\nStartup Founders\nSmall Business Owners\nAspiring Entrepreneurs\nAnybody curious about grant funding\n\nNeighbor Islands\nRemote attendance options available. Are you interested in joining the class from a neighbor island? Let us know during checkout and we’ll follow up with instructions on how to join us! \n  \n  \nRETURN TO EVENTS CALENDAR

SUMMARY:HITech Story with Kevin Yu
DESCRIPTION:HITech Story with Kevin Yu\n\nWebsite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hitech-story-with-kevin-yu-tickets-71127453127\n\n\nIntroducing HITech Story Speaker Series with Special Guest Kevin Yu.\nKevin Yu attended the University of California at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and the University of Tokyo. While in Tokyo\, he founded an internet-based trading company that arbitraged pricing differentials between the United States and Japan. \nMr. Yu joined PayPal Inc in 2004 to manage International Consumer Protections\, and in 2006\, he advocated for and led PayPal’s expansion to Japan\, culminating in PayPal’s successful market-entry after the passage of the Electronic Money Transmission act by the Japanese Diet in 2009. \nFollowing his lifelong passion for high-performance automobiles\, Mr. Yu joined Tesla Motors in 2010 as head of Asia-Pacific to drive its entry into Japan\, Hong Kong\, Australia and Singapore. By 2015\, the Tesla Model S was the best-selling sedan of any type – gas or electric – in Hong Kong. \nMr. Yu retired from Tesla in 2015 to focus on investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs. He strongly believes that hard work and ingenuity can overcome the most challenging problems of our time\, while enhancing and not compromising our standard of living. \nHITech Story is a monthly speaker series that provides the opportunity to interact with and learn from successful leaders and guest lecturers from some of Silocon Valley’s top tech companies.\nEach month\, the HITech Story Speaker Series will provide an inclusive and interactive environment for attendees to “talk story” with high-level professionals in an intimate setting and network with the local business community. Events will include a presentation by the guest lecturer\, followed by a Q&A and light pupus and refreshments. \nEvents for the series take place at Entrepreneurs Sandbox at 6 pm on the third Thursday of every month unless otherwise noted. \nThe series is always free and open to the public though RSVPs are required to save you a seat.
