Empowering small business owners to rise in the spirit of community over competition
About us
In May of 2015, Rising Tide hosted its first set of local meetups in twelve cities across the United States. Coffee shops and wineries filled with small business owners seeking a new mindset in the creative landscape—one built on relationships. Creatives who typically spent day after day sitting at their desks with only the hum of the computer and their third cup of coffee to keep them company now had the opportunity to engage in community within their own towns. One by one we added meetups in cities from the Northeast to the Southwest, and even internationally. As Rising Tide and the concept of “community over competition” was welcomed with open arms, we had the opportunity to merge with HoneyBook to build an intentional creative community worldwide. We are only as strong as the communities around us, so we dedicate ourselves to supporting non-profits and organizations we are passionate about. To date, we’ve given over $100,000+ to non-profits including The School Sessions, U.S. Dream Academy, The Birthday Party Project, Thirst Relief and more. We have also partnered with Pencils of Promise to build a school in 2018—funded entirely by community donations through our annual RISE Summit. We believe that when creatives rise, the world is changed for the better. Together, we are empowering the creative economy to pursue their passion with the support of a community.

Great tips on making your videos more accessible from Rising Tide Board Member Erin Perkins of Mabely Q ! Are you on TikTok? Are you on Instagram sharing videos? Make your videos more accessible to everyone with these 5 simple tips: 1. Add closed captions. The Captions option when you are editing your video lets you automatically generate closed captions. (Do not rely on auto captions.) 2. Avoid strobing or flashing effects. These effects carry a risk of triggering the symptoms of those with photosensitive epilepsy, migraines, or other motion and light-sensitive conditions. 3. Use text-to-speech for videos with text. This helps viewers with low vision, as well as users who have difficulties with reading. 4. Make sure the text in your video is large enough to be comfortably read on a smartphone. 5. Use your post caption to describe what’s in your video. Include any warnings that may be needed for the video. This caption can also be used to describe what is happening in the video. By following these tips, you can help ensure that more people can enjoy your videos, regardless of their abilities or medical conditions. ID: Carousel post with a blue background and teal text overlay. With an example of an iPhone showing screenshots of each tip.
