$5.53 BILLION.

That’s the level of impact America’s SBDC is making—helping small businesses access capital, grow stronger, and scale smarter.

Behind every dollar is a business owner who took a risk… and had the right support to win.

If you’re building something, you don’t have to do it alone.

From recycled soda cans to a full-time retail shop in Kailua-Kona, Candelaria Onyeabor—founder of Soda2Art—has transformed everyday aluminum into handcrafted wearable art since 2015.

With support from the Hawaiʻi SBDC, she developed a retail strategy, launched her storefront in Kailua Village, and grew her passion into a full-time income. She is now expanding her product line and preparing to hire staff, all while staying true to her sustainability mission.

“Thank you SBDC for all the help over the years as well as supporting me to successfully make the leap to full-time retailer.” — Candelaria Onyeabor

We’re proud to support Hawaiʻi’s entrepreneurs as they innovate, create, and grow.
