Mana Up’s 3rd Cohort Includes Diverse Mix of Local Companies

February 11, 2019

 Mana Up's third cohort of 10 local companies includes seven led by women and five based on Hawaii Island. The businesses offer a mix of consumer goods - including food, fashion and home goods - aimed at locals, tourists and the worldwide market.

“There’s no lack of entrepreneurship in Hawaii, and that spirit is spread across the islands,” says Mana Up co-founder Meli James. “What’s particularly great to see is that the businesses are thriving.  Our previous two cohorts are growing and hiring, and we expect that to be true of this cohort as well.”
