Ohana Inc.
Ohana Inc. is a small business networking site, often regarded as the "LinkedIn for Small Business." The company's slogan, "Empowering small businesses to connect, grow, and thrive within their own dynamic ecosystem," captures its essence. Launched in 2012 and headquartered in the United States, Ohana aims to provide small businesses with the capability to connect within a B2B social network and create their own networks of customers, partners, and suppliers effortlessly. The name "Ohana" comes from the Hawaiian language, meaning family and community, emphasizing the idea that businesses form their own "family" of other businesses crucial for survival and growth.
Ohana's differentiation lies in its ability to help businesses expand their reach, build their network, and generate opportunities through contacts, introductions, and presales activities. In April 2014, the company received a $35.00K Convertible Note investment, signifying potential investor interest in its unique approach. The significance of this investment potential is driven by the anticipated organic growth and global market expansion. Ohana's approach is validated by several SMB organizations, including two Chambers of Commerce, a City Economic Development Board, and a private business partner.
The company is set to begin revenue subscriptions in mid-2015 as organic growth gains traction after the current adoption phase. With a vision for massive scale and drawing inspiration from corporate giant Cisco, which connects large enterprises through B2B networking, Ohana aims to empower small businesses and compete effectively in the social media age. This positioning, along with the backing of proven SMB organizations, positions Ohana as a compelling player in the CRM and Sales industry, offering extensive functionality and tools to support ongoing interaction and transactions, leading to higher revenue and productivity.
