Mana Up operates as an accelerator focused on Hawaiʻi-based product companies aiming to grow into global markets. Its six-month program provides expansion opportunities and helps address business challenges; to date, 105 local companies have graduated, and 10 more are currently participating. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, the organization also runs House of Mana Up, a retail initiative that includes an online shop, corporate gifting, and brick-and-mortar locations across the Hawaiian Islands to showcase accelerator alumni. The target customers are Hawaiʻi-based manufacturers and product businesses seeking scale beyond the islands, gaining mentorship and market access through the ecosystem. In March 2024, Mana Up announced a partnership with DFS Group Limited to highlight local brands within DFS Hawaii and provide mentorship to the entrepreneurs behind them.
