Maui Technology Venture Capital Fund

Economic growth on Maui continues to improve in early 2014.  New construction starts have increased, tourism numbers are healthy and real estate sales are so strong that many willing buyers are being priced out of the market.

The business community here has always been strong and Maui is often cited for its innovative approach to new opportunities.  Technology is no exception and a small but persistent technology community has been active the last few years on our island.

Recently two entrepreneurs helped make Maui even more tech friendly.  Arben Kryeziu and Nick Bicanic have opened a venture capital firm in Kahului to provide funding, business advice and development assistance to technology start ups.
