  • Blue Startups is a Hawaiian-based accelerator company co-founded by Henk Rogers, Maya Rogers and in 2012. They created it to help startup companies, and help make Hawaii more identifiable as a technological business hub. The company has a network of over 120 mentors from the Hawaii, Silicon Valley, and Asia areas. It has a total of eight lead mentors, which includes Henk Rogers, Robert Robinson, Steve Markowitz, Donavan Kealoha, Lisa Brett, Bill Spencer, Michael Troy, Joseph Pigato and Eric Bjorndahl. The company's stated goal - according to former Program Manager Meli James - is to get companies started in Hawaii and make them want to keep working in the state. The accelerator participates in and operates a number of events. Its most notable event is its cohort program, where the accelerator offers startup companies the opportunity to receive capital, training, and experience to grow their startup. The cohort program takes place once a year, with programs that focus on developing "capital-efficient and scalable-technology companies" in the Internet, software, mobile, gaming, and e-commerce industries. Startups are selected from hundreds of applicants receive an initial investment of $25,000, training, and office space in exchange for a 3% to 10% equity stake. Blue Startups is able to invest up to $300,000 in each startup. The company has hosted ten cohorts as of August 2018, and it has 76 companies in its portfolio, which have been awarded $2,000,000 in "seed and additional capital" by Blue Startups. The company has been met with good recognition for its involvement in assisting with startups and its participation in improving the Hawaiian technological scene. It appeared at number 17 on a list of the "top 20 US accelerators" and was cited as an example of companies that are "mentoring an expanding network of Internet, software, mobile, and e-commerce firms."
