We are thrilled to announce a new venture for 3D Innovations today! Collin Kobayashi, our President and Chief 3D Officer, has teamed up with Bob Nakata, Startup Guru and Serial Entrepreneur, to launch Startup Connector here in Honolulu.

Startup Connector is a Manufacturing Accelerator that supports hardware startups. Accelerator programs are time-specific, mentorship-driven programs designed to connect startups with critical early-stage product development resources. The complementary skill sets of both entrepreneurs will help local hardware startups gain valuable insight into the entire product development process and set them up for a successful product launch.

“Our main objective is to prepare teams for full scale manufacturing and connect them with distributors and partners to develop sales channel strategies” says Mr. Kobayashi.

With an increase in statewide manufacturing initiatives, Startup Connector strives to maintain and enhance technology commercialization activities to support the growing markets of the Pacific Rim. As the number of accelerator programs in Hawaii grows, Startup Connector plans to work with other local startups to “complement their existing programs” says Mr. Nakata.

If you have a product that you would like to launch, keep your eye out for the Startup Connector application release in December.
