Problem
Professionals often struggle to maintain meaningful, ongoing relationships with industry peers beyond occasional meetings, leading to fragmented networks and missed collaboration opportunities. Existing networking tools focus on large, impersonal connections rather than fostering small, supportive communities where members can share resources and grow together.
Solution
Prohana offers a platform that enables users to create and manage their own network‑style communities, or “ohana,” centered on shared professional interests. The service provides integrated tools for group communication, event scheduling, and member directories, allowing members to collaborate on projects and exchange resources within a trusted circle. By linking calendars and supporting Zoom integration, Prohana streamlines meeting coordination and keeps interactions organized. The platform’s focus on depth over breadth encourages stronger relationships, career mentorship, and collective growth among a curated group of peers.
