In October 2000, Hawaii Opportunities Group, LLC launched the state's first private multi-industry business incubator. Located on the 21st floor of one of Downtown Honolulu's prime business locations, the incubator featurs a strategically-chosen cluster of like-minded clients, partners and suppliers at various stages of development. Clients form a tightly-knit community of enterprises banded together by a shared interest in securing a sustainable, globally competitive and prosperous Hawaii. Initially offering incubation services such as physical infrastructure and office space as well as value-added intellectual capital such as business plan writing, growth planning and fund raising assistance, Hawaii Opportunities Group has since expanded its service offerings to include management consulting services focused on market research, strategic planning, benchmarking and private equity analysis.
