10 Years of HIR
We invite you to read our 10-Year Retrospective Report which shares the story of our founding as the first Native-led accelerator and A Decade of Catalyzing Social Enterprise in Hawaiʻi from 2014–2024.
“It’s about an investment horizon that’s future-oriented and future-driven. In the ahupuaʻa, one element, any single portion of the ahupuaʻa, affects and is affected by its other parts. In a systemic view, whatever we do with an investment must understand and account for its full consequences. It’s not just about what is in it for me or you. We need an economy where a deep consciousness of systemic effects informs the distribution of wealth for the benefit of people and planet. To me, this is what the ahupuaʻa represents.”
