Your Community
We know it's tough to build a business from scratch and that great resources to support entrepreneurs like yourself are few and far between. While there's plenty of people out there who know exactly what it's like to be in your shoes, they can be tough to find. At Thrive, we've built a community of bootstrappers who are excited to help one another beat the odds.

Bootstrapping is the process of building a business from scratch without attracting investment or with minimal external capital. It is a way to finance small businesses by purchasing and using resources at the owner’s expense, without sharing equity or borrowing huge sums of money from banks. In other words, you took all the risk and built something special from scratch: that's badass.
Bootstrapping is a lifestyle choice
It's not a financial decision. People bootstrap because they want to be in complete control of the life they want to live. They want to own their outcomes, build something that will sustain, and do it on their terms.
The Four Tenants of Thrive's Membership Experience
Our membership experience was specifically designed to support the challenges faced by bootstrappers. Each tenant has its own conversation circles, accountability challenges, and live events. As part of your onboarding, we'll help you understand where you'll get the most value out of your time spent in the community.
Each tenant has it's own accountability challenge designed to strengthen your business. Every week, Thrive hosts a webinar within each tenant (facilitated by vetted entrepreneurs) that correspond to the monthly challenge. Becoming a member gives you full access to all of this!

Thrive gave me a place to share my knowledge of revenue with others, and gave me a different perspecive on my own business.

There's a lot of advice on other platforms that doesn't apply to someone who's building from scratch. These people just get it.
