Strong Leadership. Long-Term Growth.

Pono Capital Four (Nasdaq: PONO) is a special purpose acquisition company formed with the objective of identifying and partnering with a high-potential, technology-enabled business. With a capital raise of $120 million from our IPO, we serve as a strategic conduit for the right company to become publicly listed. Our firm provides the vehicle, experience, and institutional expertise required to transition visionary private company into an enduring public entity.  We specifically are focusing on selecting a business that is redefining their industry through technological innovation.

​

We operate under the philosophy that the most significant market opportunities are often found in companies driving category-defining long-term growth potential through disruptive technology yet may be underserved by conventional venture or public equity paths.  Our investment mandate is broad, yet disciplined, with a primary interest in sectors such as enterprise security, artificial intelligence, cloud-based infrastructure, mobility technology, and clean energy. We seek to collaborate with exceptional management teams who are building defensible market positions and possess the scalability to thrive in the global public markets.

​

The leadership team at Pono Capital Four, led by Chairman and CEO Dustin Shindo and CFO Gary Miyashiro, brings a seasoned and repeatable framework to the business combination lifecycle. Our team’s history is marked by a rigorous approach to sourcing, due diligence, and post-merger integration, as evidenced by our successful track record of guiding companies through complex market transitions. Our most recent collaborations include the merger of Pono Capital Three with New Horizon Aircraft (Nasdaq: HOVR) and the merger of Pono Capital Two with SBC Medical Group (Nasdaq: SBC).

​

At Pono Capital Four, our mission is to maximize long-term shareholder value by bridging the gap between sophisticated innovation and the public market. We offer our partners more than just a listing; we offer a strategic alliance rooted in operational DNA and a deep understanding of public market dynamics.  By providing a clear and efficient path to the Nasdaq market, we empower technology leaders to focus on their ambitious long-term strategies while securing a funding path and public currency necessary to shape the future of their respective industry.
