The purpose of this award is to honor our younger members of the innovative community. When picking out a Student Entrepreneur, we want to see if they have the passion for learning new things, the tenacious spirit of an Entrepreneur, are an inspiration to other young Entrepreneurs, and whether their current company has potential for growth. Our 2025 Student Entrepreneur of the Year finalists are Timothy Kim of Gochi, Candide Krieger of Edukits Hawaii, and Jazlen Lucas of Puhano Hawaii LLC.
