Support
Help bring AI to Hawaiʻi's communities.
Build Hawaiʻi transforms local businesses and creates real opportunity for young people. Every tool built here is designed for national distribution — Hawaiʻi is the lab, the mainland is the market. Your sponsorship makes that possible.
We are actively in conversation with Anthropic about sponsorship for Cohort 1.
What sponsors actually get
Real Products, Not PowerPoints
Every cohort ships 10 working AI tools. Not pitch decks. Not prototypes. Real products that businesses use the day the program ends.
Early Access to Portfolio
Every tool is built for national scale. Sponsors get first look at products with proven local traction and 130K+ potential customers on the mainland.
Community-First Story
This isn't corporate training. It's kids and business owners building together. The story writes itself — and your brand is part of it.
A Model That Scales
What works in Hawaiʻi works anywhere. Early sponsors shape how this model expands to communities across the country.
