We celebrated our one year anniversary on April 15th. It was a day for team members of Rising Tides to reflect on the progress that had been made, the business owners we had met with, the entrepreneurs who shared their ideas and dreams with us, the events we hosted, and the mission and goals of the organization.
We spent the majority of 2019 getting established while simultaneously working on our team’s collective entrepreneurial projects, and networking with other small businesses, aspiring business owners, and entrepreneurs of all types. Along the way, we further clarified our mission as an organization and continued to develop methods to promote our values through all we do.
During 2019, some of the companies we met with were: Seattle Meowtropolitan (Seattle’s first cat cafe), Blue Highway Games (expansive, yet cozy board game store in Queen Anne), Cascadia Global Security (local, but far-reaching private security company), and Quest Factor (operators, designers, and builders of ingeniously crafted escape rooms). We had a great time getting to learn from the owners/operators of these companies, and look forward to continuing to stay connected with them and many others going forward!
