Dolphin Tank Returns!

^{Crowd watches the Central Kinsman Wellness Collective, one of the graduating teams, pitch!}

On December 4th it was so exciting to gather with our local co-op community for the second annual Dolphin Tank! We heard pitches from seven new co-ops who graduated from Cleveland Owns’ 16-week incubator program, Co-op U. The audience weighed in with questions and feedback. Camaraderie was in the air. Delicious Venezuelan food was served by The Little Venezuela, one of the graduating teams!

Congratulations to the teams!!
