Makana Wild

About the offering

Makana Provisions (operating as Makana Wild) is a Hawaii-based food manufacturing and distribution company founded in 2011 by Ignacio Fleishour, an entrepreneur, outdoorsman, and conservationist. Headquartered in Honolulu, the company specializes in premium protein products, jerky, wild game products, specialty meats, seasonings, finishing salts, and value-added foods. Products are sourced through sustainable harvesting practices and regenerative agricultural systems, with a notable focus on utilizing underused and invasive food resources and transforming them into high-quality food products. Makana serves a broad customer base including retail, wholesale, hospitality, foodservice, military commissaries, and institutional customers throughout Hawaii. The company has secured distribution contracts with the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), giving it access to military markets. It operates from a long-term Honolulu production facility and holds an option to purchase the property. Over the past year, Makana acquired approximately $800,000 in food processing and manufacturing equipment, significantly increasing production capacity. The company has established strategic partnerships with Lakota Sioux organizations and other producers to source and distribute specialty protein products. Large-scale contracts are expected to begin in 2026, and the company plans to expand its workforce to meet growing production demand. Long-term growth plans include national distribution expansion and the establishment of a USDA-inspected processing and manufacturing facility on the U.S. mainland. Since founding, Makana has donated more than 20,000 pounds of food to families and nonprofits, and has participated in native forest restoration, fishpond restoration, invasive species removal, trail rehabilitation, farm recovery, and the planting of thousands of native food-producing and medicinal plants. The company is raising between $75,000 and $124,000 via a Regulation CF debt offering at a 12.5% interest rate over a 60-month loan term. Funds will be allocated toward inventory (40.32%), construction/facility improvements (24.19%), admin and labor (19.35%), marketing (8.06%), and shipping and logistics (8.06%). The capital raise is intended to help Makana complete its operational expansion, fulfill contracted opportunities, and transition from a regional food business into a scalable manufacturing operation.
