Honolulu, United States
Hohonu, founded in 2020, is a United States-based startup operating at the intersection of the Water and Autonomous and Sensor Tech industries. The company's mission—captured in its slogan, "Hohonu helps communities adapt to climate change through providing accessible environmental water data"—highlights its focus on addressing one of today's most pressing global challenges.
Hohonu's approach involves precision monitoring and forecasting, offering communities the tools to prepare for and respond effectively to flooding. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies in hardware, software, and data science, Hohonu delivers reliable and accessible water level data.
