FUNDING TYPE

Accelerator

CAN YOU GET THIS?

Open to early-stage and pre-revenue tech startups globally, but Hawaii ties and female founders get prioritized.

Blue Startups targets software, travel tech, sustainability, and ocean tech companies at idea through seed stage. Founders with Hawaii connections, at least one female founder, or an Asia-to-North America expansion strategy move to the top of the list.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Only 10 companies are accepted per cohort, making this highly selective.

The program runs annually with a fixed cap of 10 companies per session. Competition is global, so standing out requires a clear tech focus and ideally one of the preferred founder profiles.

WHAT IT TAKES

Submit application via F6S on the Blue Startups website — 1–3 hours
Interview and selection process with Blue Startups team — 1–2 weeks
Complete 12-week program (8 weeks Honolulu, 3 weeks virtual, 1 week San Francisco) — 3 months

WORTH KNOWING

Pre-revenue startups receive $25,000 upfront, but the full $250,000 is reserved for follow-on rounds — so the headline number requires ongoing performance and relationship with Blue Startups beyond the cohort. Blue Startups also takes an equity stake (advisory shares), so this is investment, not a grant.
