Elevate Your Business With

Hawaii’s Virtual Investment Readiness and Business Scaling Program

"If You Want To Go Fast, Go Alone; But If You Want To Go Far, Go Together."

In reviewing the innovation landscape in Hawaii, we saw a large need in the community: Help for companies, small businesses, and entrepreneurs who want to get to “X” but don’t know how to get there – where “X” can be launching or pivoting your business, obtaining funding, rapidly increasing customers, or getting into accelerator programs, etc. preX is a springboard for those who want to get to the next step, and it’s why we built the program specifically for Hawaii’s founders and business owners.
