Holiverse Brings Space History to a Global Audience with Lunar Constitution Mission

Space enthusiasts from around the world gathered virtually to witness a groundbreaking moment in space history, as Holiverse live-streamed a special event from the Kennedy Space Center, on February 8, 2025. The event celebrated a unique mission that sent a digital copy of the U.S. Constitution to the Moon by NASA, highlighting the role of private technology companies in expanding public engagement with space exploration. By leveraging its cutting-edge digital platform, Holiverse transformed this historic mission into an interactive global experience, allowing audiences to participate in real-time discussions with leading scientists and industry experts.

The mission itself took flight on January 15, 2025, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander. The digital document, now in lunar orbit, represents a step toward preserving human heritage beyond Earth. In addition to broadcasting this milestone, Holiverse announced plans to document the next phase of the project—a future mission that will place a physical copy of the U.S. Constitution on the Moon, housed in a specially designed container to endure the harsh lunar environment for millions of years.

Just weeks after this milestone, a special dinner event was held at the Kennedy Space Center to highlight the mission's significance and unveil the next phase of the project. With Holiverse providing an immersive broadcast experience, audiences worldwide had a front-row seat to discussions led by leading scientists, astronauts, and industry experts. The event also featured the presentation of a physical copy of the U.S. Constitution, which is planned for a future lunar mission. Unlike the digital version already in orbit, this tangible document will be housed in a specially designed container capable of withstanding the Moon's harsh environment for millions of years.

Holiverse's broadcast transformed the exclusive NASA gathering into a global experience, removing physical barriers to participation and making space exploration more accessible than ever. The platform's high-quality visuals and expert production ensured that remote viewers could fully engage with the event, absorbing insights from key speakers and learning about upcoming missions. Holiverse's commitment to interactivity was a defining feature of the broadcast, allowing virtual attendees to ask questions, participate in discussions, and share their thoughts in real time. This approach fostered a sense of inclusion, giving audiences the opportunity to not only witness history but also engage with the conversation surrounding it.

For many viewers, the event served as both an educational opportunity and a moment of inspiration. Families gathered at home to watch the broadcast, students followed along with curiosity, and space enthusiasts around the world united in celebration of a historic achievement. The success of this virtual event underscores a broader trend—digital experiences can be just as impactful as physical ones, and in many ways, they are even more accessible. Holiverse, already a leader in the digital event industry, has proven this by producing interactive broadcasts for business summits, scientific conferences, film festivals, and now, groundbreaking space missions.

Beyond the spectacle of the event itself, the broader implications of this mission highlight the evolving role of technology in cultural preservation and space exploration. The decision to send a copy of the U.S. Constitution to the Moon is not just symbolic—it reflects a growing recognition of the need to safeguard humanity's intellectual and historical achievements in a rapidly advancing technological landscape. As nations and private enterprises expand their reach beyond earth, the question of how to preserve cultural heritage in space is becoming increasingly relevant. Holiverse continues to explore new ways to make such historical moments accessible and meaningful to people worldwide.

A physical copy of the Constitution is planned to be delivered to the Moon in the near future. The document, designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space, will serve as a lasting artifact for future explorers who may one day set foot on the lunar surface. This initiative is part of a broader movement toward preserving historical documents and cultural artifacts beyond Earth, ensuring that humanity's legacy endures even as civilization expands into the cosmos.

Holiverse has already committed to broadcasting this next chapter of the mission, continuing its role in bringing groundbreaking scientific events to a global audience. The company's dedication to innovation in digital experiences has positioned it as a key player in the intersection of technology, education, and public engagement. As Holiverse looks ahead, it is preparing to launch a new philanthropic initiative through its platform, focusing on education, healthcare, and improving quality of life in developing countries. This commitment to social impact underscores the company's belief that technology should not only connect people to historic moments but also contribute to a better future.

The partnership between NASA and Holiverse demonstrates how modern digital platforms can revolutionize public access to space exploration. By streaming exclusive events like the Kennedy Space Center dinner, Holiverse has allowed thousands of people around the world to become active participants in the unfolding story of humanity's journey beyond Earth. This mission is more than just a technical achievement—it is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and the enduring significance of our shared cultural heritage.

As the next phase of this historic mission approaches, one thing is clear: the future of space exploration is not limited to astronauts and scientists alone.

About Holiverse

Holiverse is developing a metaverse that integrates various products, business strategies, and game mechanics. Metaverse is your starting point in the journey through the Holiverse ecosystem. Through digital technology, anyone with an internet connection can witness history, engage with experts, and be part of humanity's next great adventure.

Friends of the Children Partners with Nulo to Support Youth and Care for Their Pets

Friends of the Children and premium pet food brand Nulo are teaming up to make a difference—both for kids and their beloved pets—in a new campaign initiative, Paws-For-A-Cause. This year, from February 15 to March 31, Nulo will donate 10% of sales from any Nulo products purchased at participating pet retail stores in the states of Oregon and Washington to support youth and their pets in the Friends of the Children network. For a list of participating retail locations, visit nulo.com/fotc

As a longtime advocate for children and supporter of family pets, Friends of the Children and Nulo ambassador Simone Biles is proud to support Nulo’s Paws-For-A-Cause initiative.

“I know firsthand the impact that unconditional love and support can have on a child’s life,” Biles said. “For so many of the incredible kids involved with Friends of the Children, pets are a dependable source of comfort and companionship. I’m thrilled to support the Paws-For-A-Cause collaboration that celebrates Friends of the Children youth and their pets to help make sure their pets receive the nutrition and care they deserve in return for the support they offer their families.”

Friends of the Children was founded in 1993 and employs full-time, paid professional mentors—called Friends—who commit to each child for 12+ years, no matter what. What began as a small organization in Portland, Ore. has now reached over 16,000 children and family members in 42 locations nationwide. Many of the youth in the program rely on their pets for emotional support, and this collaboration ensures that both the children and their furry friends receive the love and care they need.

“Thanks to Nulo’s generous commitment, every pet food purchase becomes an opportunity to uplift a child and their pet,” said Terri Sorensen, National CEO of Friends of the Children. “We are so grateful for this partnership and for Simone’s continued advocacy.”

Nulo, known for its high-quality, protein-rich pet food, has long been devoted to prioritizing premium nutrition in support of pet health and wellness. This initiative furthers Nulo’s mission to Fuel Incredible—whether in athletes, kids or pets.

According to Nulo’s founder and CEO, Michael Landa, “Our pets play such a key part in our mental health and overall support system. When a child is at risk, the love and companionship of a pet can make all the difference. We are so pleased to be partnering with Simone in support of such an amazing organization, doing such great work for children, and in a way that is so aligned with our brand purpose.”

Nulo is taking a unique approach to charitable giving by allocating the total program donation through individual gift certificates to children in the program who have pets. Redeemable at participating retailers for Nulo products and essential pet accessories, these certificates will ensure the children and their pets receive what they need, while creating a meaningful experience for the children with their Friends.

Unlisted Enables Home Buyers to Make the First Move this Valentine’s Day

Hopelessly swiping through real estate listings, in search of ‘the one’? Finding the right home can feel a lot like dating—endless scrolling, red flags, and the occasional heartbreak when something great is lost (in a bidding war; we’re still talking about real estate here.)

Buyers can no longer afford to wait for their true love to pop up on Zillow in today’s stunted housing market. Real estate success, like dating success, requires a more proactive approach. Buyers need to make the first move to get what they really want. 

Enter Unlisted, a new AI-driven platform that allows buyers to find off-market dream homes and connect with the homeowners to explore the possibility of a transaction now or in the future. Buyers can send a care package including a small gift and personal note, a Valentine if you will, letting the homeowner know their home caught the buyer’s eye. 

For homeowners, Unlisted offers a low-pressure way to uncover interest in their property without the big commitment of a public listing. Sometimes the right buyer comes along at just the right time, and a simple note can lead to unexpected opportunities.

“Everyone has a house crush, you know, a house or two they daydream about living in one day,” said Katie Hill, founder & CEO of Unlisted. “Too often a simple lack of communication between homeowners and buyers leaves opportunities unrequited. Unlisted is fixing this. We’re the Cupid of real estate!”

About Unlisted

Unlisted is an AI-powered real estate technology platform designed to reveal off-market property opportunities. By leveraging machine learning, the company creates more dynamic, efficient market opportunities for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.

NeoHash Releases the First Decentralised Deployment of DeepSeek

NeoHash, a popular Telegram mini app with 100K+ daily users, has launched the first fully decentralized deployment of the DeepSeek AI model. With NeoHash, users can contribute computing power from their personal laptops, desktops, or phones in exchange for cryptocurrency rewards.

A Breakthrough in Decentralized AI

Running large language models like DeepSeek in a decentralized manner is highly challenging due to the complexity of cross-device communication and coordination. NeoHash is the first company to successfully deploy DeepSeek in a fully distributed system on commodity hardware, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized AI.

NeoHash’s decentralized DeepSeek deployment is at least 3 times more cost-efficient than centralized alternatives today—and will become even cheaper over time as more users contribute their computing power. The company stated, "This is a big step for AI, blockchain, and decentralized computing. By integrating DeepSeek and AI agents, we are making global mining smarter, fairer, and more scalable.”

What’s New

  • First decentralized DeepSeek deployment: No reliance on centralized servers, ensuring transparent, community-driven AI computing.
  • AI-powered mining: More efficient and intelligent mining with AI automation.
  • GPU-supported compute tasks: Mine using GPUs directly through the Telegram bot. NeoHash is the first Telegram mini app to reward users for supplying their GPU compute power.
  • Token-based rewards: Earn tokens for contributing computing power.

Beyond Mining: The Future of Decentralized AI

NeoHash isn’t just decentralizing AI compute—it’s building an adaptive network of AI agents that learn, collaborate, and optimize themselves over time.

Unlike traditional AI models, which are rigid and expensive, NeoHash’s agent network evolves dynamically, ensuring more intelligent decision-making at scale. These agents self-organize, allowing for emergent intelligence far beyond single-model performance. "Why rely on a centralized AI monopoly when you can have a decentralized network that continuously improves itself?" added the company.

Why This Matters

AI today is powerful, but it remains controlled by centralized platforms. NeoHash is changing that by making AI scalable, cost-efficient, and community-driven. As AI agents evolve within the network, they unlock new solutions for governance, finance, and large-scale decision-making—without corporate gatekeeping.

Cougar Capital Management Reaches 10 Communities and 1,000 Units—A Milestone in Growth and Community Transformation

Boston-based real estate development company Cougar Capital Management is celebrating its 10th community acquisition, bringing its senior housing portfolio to 1,000 units. This achievement showcases the firm’s remarkable growth and undeniable expertise in acquiring under performing properties and turning them into thriving communities.

As monumental as this milestone is, it represents only a step in a much larger vision. Cougar Capital Management is already preparing to close on its 11th community, with additional communities on the horizon. The company expects to double its unit count by the end of 2025, surpassing 2,000 units across at least 15 communities. This clear growth trajectory reflects the dedication of Dan Botwinik, CEO and Founder, and his team in fulfilling the firm’s mission.

This mission revolves around continuously acquiring and operating properties with a long-term vision of maximizing value for investors and community residents. Cougar Capital Management recognizes that real estate investments should be vehicles for positive community transformation. It, therefore, identifies underperforming assets and revitalizes them to ensure that the properties deliver strong returns for investors and provide high-quality living environments for residents.

“We see a difference every time we take over a community and turn it around. Occupancy rates improve, staff morale rises, and even the entire atmosphere of the property changes. Residents and employees feel the renewed energy, and that’s what makes our work so meaningful. It’s very fulfilling because, at the same time, we’re creating value for our investors as we help them identify inefficiencies in the market and solve them,” Botwinik remarks.

The CEO states that the financial success of Cougar Capital Management’s projects enables the team to keep growing, allowing the firm to bring in new members and mentor the next generation of real estate professionals. Essentially, its efforts present a threefold impact on the investors, residents, and the team. “That’s what makes it all worthwhile,” adds Botwinik.

Cougar Capital Management reaching its 10th community is a springboard for greater opportunities. Its ability to expand its reach means it can offer more career growth opportunities for its team, allowing employees to deepen their expertise in real estate investment and management. Moreover, it translates to more chances of finding and transforming underperforming properties. Investors secure attractive returns and, in turn, enable the company to continue making a difference.

It’s also worth noting that the company’s milestone is even more noteworthy, given the broader landscape of senior housing and multi-family real estate. The senior population is growing rapidly. Hence, the demand for well-managed, high-quality housing is higher. Seniors are predicted to make up 23% of the population in the United States by 2054, and many will require specialized housing solutions.

Investors in this space have the opportunity to address an urgent need while benefiting from financial returns. Senior housing assets have appreciated steadily due to shifting demographics and increasing demand, with occupancy rates experiencing eight consecutive quarters of positive growth.

The demand for well-run facilities will only increase as more baby boomers transition into senior living. Sixty percent of surveyed baby boomers are considering moving into a senior housing community within the next four years. However, developing new properties is costly. It’s crucial to improve existing structures through expert management and strategic investment—which is Cougar Capital Management’s expertise.

The forward-thinking firm partnered with Willow Ridge Senior Living, a company led by President and CEO Michael Morris, to ensure it provides top-tier living experiences and that each property is financially viable. Botwinik and Morris have collaborated since meeting in 2022 to identify communities where Willow Ridge’s specialization can make an impact. While the former leverages its experience in real estate acquisition, development, and capital investment, Willow Ridge focuses on operational excellence. Together, the innovative companies have proved that senior living communities can be financially successful and genuinely beneficial for those who live and work there.

Cougar Capital Management’s ability to balance investor value and community well-being continues to drive its success. The company understands that financial growth enables social impact and vice versa. Botwinik and his team are focused on finding the next opportunity to make a meaningful difference as the firm continues to expand its portfolio.

LUV Car Wash Raises Over $20,000 for Breast Cancer Support Through DONNA Foundation Partnership

LUV Car Wash, one of the fastest-growing express car wash companies in the United States, presented a check for $20,644 to the DONNA Financial Aid Fund during the 18th Annual DONNA Marathon Weekend. The funds were raised through a October 2024 campaign where $1 from every True LUV Single Wash was donated to support breast cancer patients and their families. With its commitment to the Financial Aid Fund, LUV Car Wash is investing in a grant program for qualifying breast cancer patients, that will be able to provide immediate cash grants for families in crisis.

"The success of this campaign demonstrates the incredible power of our community coming together for a vital cause," said JT Thomson, Chief Development Officer and Co-Founder of LUV Car Wash.

Dr. Mark L. Vincent Champions Emotional Intelligence Development with Mygrow

Mark L. Vincent, Ph.D., EPC, a distinguished executive advisor and process consulting expert, firmly advocates for integrating the Emotional Intelligence (EI) framework on a broader scale. Recognizing its role in personal, organizational, and leadership success, he emphasizes its impact through his partnership with Mygrow, a leader in EI development technology.

Over three decades of experience have enabled Dr. Vincent to guide leaders through complex organizational landscapes. He founded Design Group International, the Society for Process Consulting, Teall Vincent Enterprises, and Maestro-level leaders and has served on multiple corporate boards. As a partner with Mygrow since 2023, he’s collaborating with a team committed to championing EI development.

Mygrow is an online platform that encourages personal and collective growth by methodically building Emotional Intelligence skills. Its goal is to help individuals and teams improve their relationships, leadership, productivity, and decision-making by enhancing their emotional skills.

This methodology employed by Mygrow stems from microlearning, breaking down the development journey into manageable segments. The approach leverages the brain’s neuroplasticity, ensuring that users acquire knowledge and develop lasting EI competencies through consistent daily practice.

Mygrow co-founders Mark Baker and Theran Knighton-Fitt developed this unique methodology. Baker combined his extensive experience in corporate training as a clinical psychologist with Knighton-Fitt’s background in filmmaking with a focus on the human side of work. The two visionaries created a platform integrating positive psychology principles with cutting-edge technology.

Dr. Vincent partnered with Mygrow as he recognized how vital EI is in enabling individuals and businesses to thrive. “Technical skills are, of course, important. But the ability to understand and manage emotions is equally critical for effective leadership and the success of organizations,” he states. He believes companies can cultivate cultures that promote trust, collaboration, and long-term value creation by creating an environment that prioritizes Emotional Intelligence.

The executive advisor has observed that the demand for immediate results usually leads to environments where abrasive behaviors are (mistakenly) valued. For Dr. Vincent, pursuing rapid outcomes without EI development is like “running a sprint where you just flail, using all of your body to try and go as fast as you can but to no avail.” He advocates for a balanced approach that emphasizes responsiveness over reactivity, as this is the key for leaders to build sustainable, thriving organizations.

Essentially, leaders can cultivate environments where individuals feel valued and are motivated to contribute meaningfully by integrating EI development into organizational practices. The process isn’t as easy as it seems, however. Dr. Vincent likens personal and emotional growth to peeling an onion. “Think of an onion. We peel off one layer, and underneath, we find another—thicker, larger, and more complex. We could never reach that next layer, never continue growing, never become wiser, if we don’t do the work,” he states.

This concept of development extends to leadership. True leadership entails being aware of the organizational landscape, the people within it, and, most critically, oneself. Self-awareness is the foundation of Emotional Intelligence. Leaders who neglect it risk burnout and ineffective leadership. “For example, a therapist can’t help people if they’re not aware of who they are. They won’t be able to sustain their work. The same applies to leadership. Leaders need to do self-work to be truly effective,” Dr. Vincent supplies.

This is where Mygrow comes in. It facilitates lasting improvement by leveraging neuroscience-backed methodologies, straying away from passive learning experiences or fleeting self-improvement trends. Mygrow’s app offers an engaging, structured journey, helping individuals systematically develop their Emotional Intelligence.

When a user logs in, the platform introduces a concept about EI and then delivers a short video. They’re then prompted to take a brief quiz, ensuring they actively engage with the content. After completing a lesson, users do an exercise like journaling, reinforcing the learning experience. It’s worth mentioning that they can only complete one lesson per day, encouraging steady, habitual engagement rather than rushed consumption.

Unknown to many, EI must be exercised regularly to yield meaningful results, just as physical fitness requires consistent effort. Mygrow ensures this by guiding users through small, manageable steps. The app has innovative features that allow users to track their progress in real-time and learn about how often they participate and the quality of their participation.

Dr. Vincent shares that Mygrow’s methodology promotes consistency and impact. “The process works like this: if a person engages with it daily, and ideally they do so three to five times a week, then in about a year and a half, they will have worked through 15 different arenas of Emotional Intelligence,” he explains. 

Users eventually delve into the psychological effects of Emotional Intelligence development as they progress through the program. For instance, they begin exploring how EI impacts their cardiac and pulmonary systems. “When we’re stressed, our heart rate and breathing become misaligned. That’s where cardiac health starts to decline. Mygrow teaches users how to regulate their physiological responses so they can have mental clarity and experience tangible health benefits,” Dr. Vincent says.

Mygrow has been life-changing for many professionals. One executive coach specializing in the neuroscience of change, who also facilitates a cohort of Maestro-level leaders, shares: “What I appreciated about Mygrow is that it didn’t just highlight areas of my life that I had been unaware of or underestimated—it gave me the tools to work through them. At this stage in my life and leadership, I’ve grown more equanimous, but that also means that when something does trigger me, it stands out. Mygrow has helped me become more aware and proactive in managing myself, allowing me to show up as the best version of myself.”

Dr. Vincent, making it his mission to make more individuals and organizations learn about the benefits of Mygrow’s unique methodology, spearheads the hosting of Mygrow North America Conference 2025. This event, taking place from September 30 to October 1, 2025, aims to connect coaches, consultants, and organizational leaders who are passionate about Emotional Intelligence development.

This interactive conference will feature plenary sessions, panels, and small-group discussions, offering tools and insights for integrating Emotional Intelligence into coaching practices, workplace culture, and leadership strategies. Attendees will engage in thought-provoking conversations about the intersection of EI and workplace success. Dr. Mark L. Vincent states: “At the end of the day, our goal is to pave the way for an emotionally intelligent world where individuals, leaders, and organizations can flourish.”

About Mygrow

Mygrow is a guided, 15-minute-a-day online programme designed to become a lifelong habit, improving well-being, fostering healthier relationships, enhancing decision-making and stress management, increasing productivity, and providing time relief for executives. Rooted in neuroscience, it’s a transformative journey delivered through daily “droplets” within an app. For more information, visit www.mygrow.me.

Earthquake Brace + Bolt Grants Now Available to More Eligible California Homeowners

The 2025 Earthquake Brace + Bolt grant application window is open, according to an announcement today by the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP). The California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) announces the opening of their Earthquake Brace + Bolt grant application window for 2025. California homeowners are now eligible to apply for Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) seismic retrofit grants, to help make their home less vulnerable to earthquake damage. This year, 303 new ZIP Codes have been added, making the total number of eligible ZIP Codes 1,118. Opening January 15, 2025, and continuing through, March 26, 2025, eligible homeowners can apply for up to $3,000 in seismic retrofit grants at EarthquakeBraceBolt.com.

More than $20 million in grant funding will be available to help offset the cost of seismic retrofits that bolt older houses to their foundations and brace the crawl space walls, when present, making them less vulnerable to earthquake damage. Since the 2013 EBB program launch, more than 28,500 California homeowners have received grant assistance for strengthening their homes against earthquake damage. The EBB grant program is administered by the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP), a Joint Powers Authority between the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).

"Strengthening homes through the Earthquake Brace + Bolt program not only reduces the risk of costly damages but also gives homeowners peace of mind knowing their properties are better prepared to withstand seismic events,” said Janiele Maffei, Chief Mitigation Officer, California Earthquake Authority. “By striving for more applications this year, we are working to make a significant impact in protecting California homes and families from the devastating effects of earthquakes.”

Income-eligible homeowners may also qualify for supplemental grants. Up to $7,000 in additional grant funds are available for households with an annual income at or below $89,040, which may provide up to 100% of the funds needed to cover a seismic retrofit. Grants are contingent upon meeting eligibility requirements and available funds.

"Earthquake retrofits are a cornerstone of creating a safer and more resilient California. By securing older homes with proven seismic strengthening measures, we not only protect families and their investments but also reduce the potential strain on communities during a major earthquake,” said Tom Welsh, Chief Executive Officer of the California Earthquake Authority. “Every home retrofit brings us closer to a more resilient California."

Beginning January 15 through March 26, 2025, eligible homeowners can apply for a retrofit grant at EarthquakeBraceBolt.com, where they can also find detailed program information, select a trained California-licensed general contractor and view the full list of ZIP Codes and program areas. New EBB program ZIP Codes include areas in and around Los Angeles County, Riverside and San Diego.

About Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB)

Established by the California Residential Mitigation Program, EBB offers up to $3,000 to help California homeowners retrofit their house to reduce potential damage from earthquakes. A residential seismic retrofit makes a house more resistant to earthquake activity, such as ground shaking and soil failure, by bolting the house to its foundation and adding bracing around the perimeter of the crawl space. For more information, please visit: EarthquakeBraceBolt.com.

About the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP)

CRMP was established in 2011 to help Californians strengthen their homes against damage from earthquakes.

Rising Tide Dental Partners Launches Multi-State Doctor-Owned Dental Platform

Following more than a year of recruiting and vetting dentist partners, business strategy and design, financial underwriting, and raising capital, Rising Tide Dental Partners, supported by Aligned Dental, has officially launched Rising Tide, a new doctor-owned dental partnership bringing together 17 founding dentists and 27 practices across 11 states under a shared vision of integrity, innovation, and long-term legacy building. Unlike traditional dental service organizations, Rising Tide empowers its dentists to retain clinical autonomy, financial control, and ownership stakes in the future of their profession. 

With membership locations stretching from New York to Hawaii, the platform unites practices with a commitment to exceptional patient care and sustainable business growth. Rising Tide was built to ensure dentists—not investors—remain at the helm of their careers. 

"We built Rising Tide on four pillars: integrity, gratitude, innovation, and legacy," says Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Dr. Steven Albert. "It was very important to us that founder dentists control the company. We are grateful for all those who helped us achieve a successful launch and are ready to continue our growth, mission, and vision in 2025. This isn't just about financial success; it's about protecting what makes private practice special and ensuring that dentist-owned organizations continue to thrive."

The founders dedicated more than a year to carefully designing a structure that prioritizes doctor leadership, community impact, and long-term sustainability.

"Dentistry is evolving, and our goal is to shape that evolution—not be shaped by it," explains CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Anthony Leonetti. "Our mission is to empower dentists to remain at the forefront of their profession, ensuring they lead with a steadfast commitment to patient care and the highest standards of quality."

Dentists Leading the Future of Dentistry

Unlike traditional models where outside investors dictate strategy, Rising Tide’s founders are also its leadership. The company’s executive team and board of directors are composed entirely of dentist-entrepreneurs who have built successful practices and are committed to advancing the field.

"Becoming a founder at Rising Tide Dental Partners is a true calling," says Co-Founder and Clinical Director Dr. Ced Lewis. "Teaming with passionate colleagues, we prioritize genuine service and build a thriving future that creates lasting growth and legacy for our communities and families."

A Unique Approach to Growth

Rising Tide’s journey involved three strategic phases: financial modeling, strategic consulting and legal design, and capital raising. Partnering alongside Aligned Dental, an industry leader in launching and scaling dentist-owned platforms, Rising Tide successfully structured a model that balances growth with dentist-driven leadership.

"We aim for alignment when putting groups together, and this group of dentists is special," says Aligned Dental Co-Founder Dr. Alex Giannini. "They’ve achieved that clinically, operationally, and financially—and in every sense of the word—all while staying true to their values."

“The quality of the dentists and practices in Rising Tide is truly top-notch and demonstrates that doctor-founded and doctor-led DSOs are the direction the industry is heading,” agrees Aligned Co-Founder Chris McClure. “We were thrilled to be a part of this and are excited to watch this new partnership platform grow.”

As the organization continues to grow in 2025, Rising Tide remains committed to empowering dentists, strengthening private practice, and delivering outstanding patient care.

About Rising Tide

Rising Tide is a dentist-led network fostering a unique culture centered around a patient-first approach. With a strong commitment to high-quality care, we enable dental professionals to lead with expertise while ensuring the best results for patients. At Rising Tide, our vision is to unite like-minded clinicians in a shared commitment to providing exceptional patient care through strategic growth, operational efficiencies, and standardized best practices.
