Join us at East Meets West 2026! The premier tech event in Hawaiʻi. EMW is where entrepreneurs and investors across Hawaiʻi, Asia, and the US come together to learn, connect, and build what’s next. Expect two days of high impact programming, curated networking, and the global perspectives that make this community so special.
This EMW will feature one of the world’s most recognized venture capitalists, Tim Draper. Tim will be giving a keynote and will also join a live filming of Meet the Drapers, giving founders the chance to pitch to the Draper family and millions of viewers worldwide.
EMW will be bringing back Pegasus Tech Ventures, Startup World Cup Pitch Competition. One startup will earn a spot on the global stage to compete for a $1 million investment at the Startup World Cup Finals in San Francisco. This competition helps shine a brighter global spotlight on our ecosystem.
