Can you help? Kanu Hawaii seeking office space.


Kanu is seeking free or affordable office space for our small staff team.

Aside from our budget limitations, we're not picky, but some of our needs include...
  • space for 3-4 desks/workstations (4-5 staff people)
  • access to parking (stalls for 4-5 staff)
  • access to conference room (ideal, but not required)
  • on Oahu, preferably just outside the downtown core, mainly for parking reasons (Kaneohe, Kailua, Kalihi, Kaimuki, Kakaako, etc.)
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact James directly.

Mahalo!
