KūHana Accelerator Supports Hawaiian-owned Businesses

The KūHana Accelerator is helping Hawai’ian-owned businesses in early to mid-stages of development. 

The accelerator provides an intensive 8 week business plan development class set to equip entrepreneurs with the tools and technical assistance needed for success. This covers everything from business planning to market research and financial projections.

“Our goal at KūHana is to empower local and Hawai’ian-owned businesses by providing them with a solid foundation in business planning. We’re committed to helping these entrepreneurs develop clear, actionable plans that not only attract funding but also set them on a path to long-term success,” says  Max Mukai, Program Manager of KūHana.

Local businesses interested in the accelerator can reach out to KūHana at the 2024 Native Hawai’ian Convention.
