Rising Tide Capital, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded with the mission to empower entrepreneurs to create and grow small businesses which transform lives and communities, will host a ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow for its new Newark location tomorrow, February 3, 2016.
Although the nonprofit has operated its programs and services in the City for the past 4 years, this new, expanded office space will serve as the regional hub of Rising Tide Capital’s operations for entrepreneurs in Newark and around Essex County.
“Rising Tide Capital’s new home is a symbol of our commitment to the city, the entrepreneurs of Newark and the surrounding region, and the many community partners we work with towards our shared vision of economic opportunity,” said Keith Dent, Senior Manager for Regional Expansion. “While this isn’t the launch of our operations in Newark, it is definitely the launch of a new era for Rising Tide Capital with the launch of an office that can sustain expanded programming and services for our entrepreneurs.”
Currently, the organization operates 4 sessions of its nationally recognized Community Business Academy in the City of Newark in both English and Spanish, across three different wards.
