Mana Up helps Hawai‘i-based founders grow through a 6-month accelerator program focused on leadership development, scaling operations, and increasing revenue.

Each cohort joins a vibrant, collaborative network of fellow founders, alumni, and partners—fostering connection, collaboration, and shared growth.

From creative artists to the producers of locally harvested honey and ocean-friendly fashion, the Mana Up ‘ohana is filled with innovators who honor their culture, community, and the ‘āina.

Founders are paired with experts across finance, human resources, CPG, retail and tech, receiving hands-on guidance tailored to their stage of growth and business goals.

Entrepreneurs are featured in high-profile events like the annual Mana Up Showcase Broadcast and in-person Marketplace, offering media exposure and direct-to-consumer sales opportunities.

Graduating companies gain exposure through House of Mana Up stores, e-commerce, and global sales opportunities—including events like Aloha Market in Tokyo and Los Angeles.

Mana Up has helped us open new doors with retailers and buyers that we could never get face-to-face meetings with. They've helped us see there's still huge market potential within Hawai’i through sales channels we never thought our product would be a good fit for. The program has been a great place to connect and build lasting relationships with like-minded entrepreneurs in Hawai’i."
