From 2001 to 2005, Pacific Business Forums' targeted and strategic efforts aimed at cultivating accredited private investors and introducing VCs to Hawaii lead to the entry of three venture funds representing nearly $4 billion in capital, resulting in nearly $25 million in seed/early-stage funding for 19 of Hawaii's hottest emerging technology companies.

PBF no longer works with high potential entrepreneurs/small businesses, however still maintains a large local database of high net worth individuals --aka angel investors, having pioneered the angel investment space in Hawaii beginning in 1997. If you are seeking venture funding for your business and/or need strategic consultation in the areas of business plan development and fundraising, contact Kevin Robinson at fellow pioneer of Hawaii's venture space, Hawaii Opportunities Group or Rob Robinson at Hawaii Angels.
