About Talanui
Built for the
open ocean.
Talanui builds tools, stories, and frameworks to help people remain oriented through uncertainty, transition, and change.
Why Talanui exists
The old maps are becoming less reliable.
Technology is changing work, identity, creativity, and possibility faster than many inherited paths can adapt.
Talanui exists to help people remain oriented without surrendering the agency to choose what their lives are for.
Our work is inspired by Polynesian wayfinding: the intelligence to read changing conditions, hold a destination, and find a course where no road exists.
Founder
Chris Paraoan
Chris is an author and technology executive helping the largest global companies navigate, build, and maximize the business value of their emerging technology investments.
That work led to a more human question: as technology becomes more capable, how do people decide what they should become?
The question became Mana of the Mind. It continues to shape Talanui.
