| Spring Greetings |  Hello Everyone, Let's celebrate the arrival of spring, as we salute entrepreneurs who, despite long experiences in their life journeys, are at the beginning stages of their entrepreneurial paths. Terriann Jackson, for instance, started GAME Magazine online at the end of last year, and is about to launch her print version. Dylan Evans is working tirelessly to bring the Jersey City community together around art in public spaces, and Jorge Diaz has found in Rising Tide Capital's Community Business Academy, a "solution" on the path to business success. Imagine the courage it must take to start a business in this rocky economy; to step out on faith and believe that with hard work, passion and focus, everything is possible! As our entrepreneurs continue to begin these journeys, and to scale the heights of achievement, they inspire me with their strength and clarity of purpose. Men and women like these provide the reason for Rising Tide Capital's very existence; to provide support to entrepreneurs as they start and grow successful businesses. If this mission resonates with you, like it inspired Tennessee entrepreneur John DeMoss, I invite you to make a tax deductible deduction to Rising Tide Capital. Happy Easter to you and yours, Alfa Demmellash |

Rising Tide Capital Co-founders participate in the 6th Annual Ei Conference | |
Rising Tide Capital co-founders Alfa Demmellash and Alex Forrester were honored to be invited to participate as guest business plan judges for a competition hosted by the Entrepreneurship Initiative (Ei) Forum of the Center for Faith & Work. On April 8-9, 2011, the Ei Forum brought together business leaders and entrepreneurs with dynamic speakers, panelists and workshops with a focus on the theme of "passion." According to its website, the Ei Forum was "created to encourage and support entrepreneurs with a bold vision to start a new arts, for-profit, or non-for-profit venture that fosters shalom and brings about gospel-centered renewal to New York City and beyond."

Why I Support Rising Tide Capital |
 | | Rising Tide Capital CEO Alfa Demmellash and Tennessee Entrepreneur John DeMoss during his visit to Rising Tide Capital in January. |
My name is John DeMoss, and I proudly support Rising Tide Capital. It may be a bit perplexing as to why I donate to this organization from 800 miles away (Chattanooga, TN is where I call "home"), but that just proves how much I believe in the mission of this organization.
