We’re thrilled to share that hi raya! will be competing in Accelerate, a high-energy civic pitch competition hosted by Cleveland Leadership Center and sponsored by Citizens. Often described as a Shark Tank-style event, Accelerate brings together bold ideas from across Northeast Ohio, awarding seed funding to individuals and small businesses working to make the region a better place.

We’re honored to participate as contestants and to share our vision on this stage. If you’re able to attend, we would love your support in the room. Come cheer us on, root for our journey, and be part of this exciting night celebrating creativity, innovation, and local impact.
