David Fry’s Summary

I've been building a new company since May 2008. Tanuki Interactive focuses on meeting the technology needs of political campaigns and non profit organizations.

In the 2008 election season, we worked for Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, Democratic State House and Senate candidates, community groups supporting rail transit, and the Democratic Party of Hawaii. After our first election season, we are proud of our 100% track record of success.

We are now preparing for the competitive 2010 elections - getting financing in place and beginning to identify the team we'll need to serve clients nationwide.
