LUNCH 2.0 HAWAII
"Lunch Five-O"

Sponsored by HiBEAM and Featuring ChipIn and PeopleBridge

"A small group of high-tech go-getters, determined to get inside Silicon Valley companies, decided to reinaugurate the business lunch. They created a loose-knit community in search of a free lunch -- and social interactions with their peers. They call it Lunch 2.0." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Lunch 2.0 Goes Hawaiian Style!

The tech business lunch phenomenon that started in Silicon Valley -- and spread globally to places like Germany, Netherlands and India -- comes to Hawaii to provide the Aloha State's tech community with a new twist on networking. Lunch 2.0 gatherings are informal and meant to connect people with people and people with tech ideas, products and services.

Our first "Lunch Five-O" is:

Friday, December 28, 2007
Noon to 2 p.m.
Manoa Innovation Center
800 Woodlawn Drive in Manoa Valley

RSVPs required to rsvp@lunch20hawaii.com

Lunch will be provided by HiBEAM, Hawaii Business and Entrepreneur Acceleration Mentors, a nonprofit dedicated to helping launch and build promising early stage technology, biotechnology and life sciences companies by providing expert professional advice and access to funding sources.

Featured at the event are two HiBEAM portfolio companies: ChipIn and PeopleBridge. ChipIn is a Web-based service that simplifies the process of collecting money from groups of people. Using a ChipIn widget, you can easily promote the ChipIns on the social networking sites you already use and track the demographics of those chipping in. Social networking platform provider PeopleBridge, founded by Dave Kozuki who started GlobalPauHana.org, is the largest social network specifically for kama'aina.
