When Ray Lui was growing up in Cleveland, he was one of the few Asians in his community. His parents and grandparents, who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s from Hong Kong and China, worked hard to support him and his sister and helped inspire his entrepreneurial endeavors. Today, Lui and his co-founder and fiancee, Mary McCann, run Cleveland-based Sprinly, a vegan meal delivery service that makes plant-based versions of familiar staples, like quinoa "meatballs" and cashew parmesan "cheese." Sprinly landed at No. 113 on the 2020 Inc. 5000, booked $3.3 million in 2019 revenue, and was on Inc.'s 2020 Best in Business list for making a positive impact on its local community. Sprinly, which aims to help people eat healthier and more sustainably, currently delivers in the Midwest, East Coast, parts of the South, and New York City. Below, Lui reflects on how his heritage has helped drive his journey as a founder. --As told to Gabrielle Bienasz
