TechHui

Hawaiʻi's Technology Community

We are happy to announce that TechHui has been acquired by Japanese internet powerhouse Joudan K.K. for $10 million dollars. Joudan CEO Saru Usoda had this to say about the deal, which was finalized yesterday, "TechHui will make a fantastic addition to our portfolio of regional niche social networks and blogs." Usoda said Joudan's plans include a redesign, localization to Japanese and the introduction of several custom OpenSocial applications.

TechHui founders Daniel Leuck and his wife Mika Leuck will be relocated to Joudan's headquarters in Jigokudani, Japan.

Hey, let me know when you guys open your Sapporo office. I can, like, be in charge of buying paper plates and party hats. I will work for peanuts.

That is correct. You will receive offers shortly.
I assume all one thousand Huisters will all be hired at once.

As your tax adviser, I recommend delaying that move to Japan until you've spent more than 1/2 the year in the United States, otherwise you may subject that income to that country's higher tax rates. (BTWIKTIBS).
