About us

The PaperChaseWebb Network is a founder-led community bringing together builders, entrepreneurs, developers, and curious minds interested in business, technology, and the future of innovation.

Through regular gatherings and collaborative sessions, we create space for meaningful conversations and practical learning around topics such as networking, business strategy, entrepreneurship, relationship building, small business growth, marketing, and running profitable companies. We also explore emerging ideas in artificial intelligence, AI ethics, artificial general intelligence, and how technology is shaping society and business.

The community operates alongside initiatives like OpenSourceHawaii, OpenClaw meetups, and OpenHours coworking sessions, creating opportunities for people to connect both socially and professionally. Our OpenHours sessions (typically 11am–1pm a couple times each week at Hiking Hawaii Cafe in Waikiki) provide a relaxed environment where members can work on projects, exchange ideas, and meet other builders and founders.

In addition to discussions and networking, the group hosts practical workshops such as Claude Code / Codex 101, where participants learn to build and deploy real digital toolsβ€”from portfolio websites to simple web apps and startup landing pages.

The goal of The PaperChaseWebb Network is simple: bring ambitious people into the same room to share knowledge, build relationships, and create real opportunities for collaboration. Whether you're a business owner, developer, entrepreneur, or someone interested in the intersection of technology and business, this community offers a supportive place to learn, connect, and grow.
