Bank of Hawaii x Mana Up: Visionary Ventures Panel & Pau Hana
In partnership with Hawaii Business Magazine, Mana Up and Bank of Hawai‘i hosted Visionary Ventures, a panel designed to celebrate Hawai‘i's entrepreneurs while exploring the challenges they face with business growth.
During this event, attendees were able to hear from Bank of Hawaiʻi’s Vice President and Senior manager of Business Interests and Valuation, Dave Stinson and Senior Vice President of Metro Commercial Banking Center, Tim Chang and local entrepreneurs and Mana Up alum Mahiana, founder of Surf Shack Puzzles, Ashley, founder of Mohala Eyewear, and Kelleigh, founder of Big Island Coffee Roasters.
In their panel discussion, monerated by Meli James, Mana Up Co-Founder, the entrepreneurs spoke to companies in the growth phase (pre-acquisition) and to companies in the acquisition phase.
