ʻĀinapreneur Businesses

Empowering Local Entrepreneurs:

     The Third ʻĀinapreneur Cohort Begins    


The third ʻĀinapreneur Small Business Development Training Cohort is underway, bringing together a passionate group of local entrepreneurs dedicated to building values-driven businesses. This program continues to foster a new wave of ʻĀinapreneurs—business owners who integrate cultural responsibility, sustainability, and community well-being into their business models.


WHAT IS AN ʻĀINAPRENEUR BUSINESS?

ʻĀinapreneur businesses are built on three key pillars:

🌱 People – They prioritize inclusivity, personal and professional growth, and meaningful relationships with employees, customers, and vendors.

🌍 Place – They are deeply rooted in their communities, committed to sustainability, and actively engaged in cultural practices, including the use of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

💡 Purpose – They operate with integrity, innovation, and a focus on creating a lasting positive impact.

This cohort is diving deep into business development, value-driven leadership, and community engagement, equipping participants with the tools to strengthen and sustain their ventures. Through collaborative learning and mentorship, these entrepreneurs are not only growing their businesses but also shaping a future where commerce and culture thrive together.

As the third ʻĀinapreneur cohort progresses, it serves as a testament to the growing movement of businesses in Hawaiʻi that prioritize aloha ʻāina, innovation, and shared success. Stay tuned for updates on their journeys and the impact they are making in their communities!
