Welcome to HiBEAM

Hawaii Business and Entrepreneur Acceleration Mentors

HiBEAM's mission is to help launch and build promising early stage Hawaii technology, biotechnology and life sciences companies by providing expert professional advice and access to funding sources.

Our vision is to help develop in Hawaii an entrepreneurial culture that encourages risk-taking, enables local technology companies to compete successfully in global markets, attracts capital, strengthens and diversifies the economy, and creates well-paying jobs.

HiBEAM assembles teams of advisors to function like a "virtual" or "shadow" board of directors for client companies. The virtual board is drawn from the finance, entrepreneurial, and professional services sectors. HiBEAM tailors the composition of each virtual board to fit the specific needs of the entrepreneur. HiBEAM also assembles teams of advisors to help early stage entrepreneurs, scientists, and inventors through a Springboard Forum process. See our programs page for more information.
