Hundreds Turn Out for Mana Up Showcase in Honolulu on Nov. 5 as Gov. Green Attends
HONOLULU, Honolulu County, Hawaii — The annual showcase of Mana Up, a Hawaii-based business accelerator, was held on Thursday, November 5, at a Bloomingdale's store, drawing hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors and supporters. Governor Josh Green also attended to back local companies from across the state.
The showcase is Mana Up's annual signature event, spotlighting Hawaii companies that have gone through its accelerator program — in effect, the graduation of the current cohort. Founded by Meli James and Brittany Heyd, Mana Up runs a six-month accelerator offering workshops, mentorship and sales opportunities, helping local companies grow within the state and expand beyond it.
This summer, Mana Up announced its 11th cohort: just 11 businesses selected from a record 256 applicants, drawn from across the Hawaiian Islands.
