Why Kāko’o?

At Kākoʻo, we envision a vibrant platform where local artisans and small businesses can proudly showcase their handcrafted goods—celebrating the beauty of Hawaiʻi’s culture, craftsmanship, and sustainable practices. Our mission goes beyond commerce; we aim to cultivate a space that fosters community connection and honors the spirit of collaboration.

Kāko’o means to- uphold, support, or assist and that is the foundation of Kāko’o Hawai’i. We are here to build a community of people that support each other. The world describes us as competition, but we are a ‘OHANA.

Our vision behind Kāko’o is to provide small businesses with the opportunity to sell their goods, promote their business, and bring the community together.​
