Join us on Thursday, 6/24 at 12:00 PM to learn more about the Hawaii FoundHer program! We will give an overview of the program, application, and selection process. Our program manager Darien Siguenza will explain what we are looking for in an application and answer any questions you may have. There will also be an opportunity to network with fellow attendees. One lucky attendee will receive a case of Shaka Tea, sponsored by Hawaii FoundHer’s co-founder Bella Hughes!

“Women and especially women of color are historically over-mentored and underfunded. The barriers to entry to build a new business with a clear path to profitability are increasingly more challenging and very few accelerators and incubators are designed to empower women entrepreneurs holistically. We are thrilled to offer a new program focused on Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women-led businesses that combines tailored mentorship with non-dilutive, early-stage capital to grow their business, coupled with support for those in caretaking roles, whether they have children or take care of their kūpuna.”
