Business Accelerator
Built to Stay.
A business accelerator for Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Asian women building the economy Hawaiʻi deserves.
Most accelerators are built for exits. FoundHer is built for roots.
A successful small business is how ʻohana stays in Hawaiʻi, and how the next generation inherits something worth staying for.
Our Impact

Both run six months. Both are built on funding, mentorship, and community. Choose the track that fits where you build.

The economy weʼre building doesnʼt happen without community behind it.
Every contribution brings another wāhine founder closer to building something that lasts, for her ʻohana, and for all of us.
