I had so much fun sitting down with Meli James co-founder of Mana Up, a Hawaii-based product business accelerator and venture fund Meli aimed at diversifying the local economy and creating jobs. Born and raised in Honolulu, Meli spent over a decade in Silicon Valley, where she co-founded startups like Nirvino, a top-ranked wine app. We discuss her journey from Silicon Valley to Hawaii, the creation and success of Mana Up, and her tips for aspiring entrepreneurs.
