About Us
Thrive removes the debt and
shame-spiral so you can spend happy.
OUR VISION:
To help young people around the world create a happier and healthier relationship with money through innovation.
OUR MISSION:
Eliminate the insecurity that bad debt creates by empowering the Thrive community to save, grow, and spend their money in a conscious way that helps promote abundance and prosperity.
OUR BACKGROUND:
We started Thrive after spending years working as bankers. We felt pretty disillusioned after that experience, especially seeing how credit card debt was used as a tool of oppression. The debt spiral is real and it is freakin’ hard to recover from. And we know that because we’ve been there.
Jackie is a total sneakerhead. Jordan loves her handbags. We love to shop and we’re totally OK with it. We just wanted a better way to be able to buy. So we designed Thrive to help you save money so that you can spend it. Remove the debt, the shame spiral and spend happy. We added in a dash of technology to spice it up, because honestly...we’re lazy and hate budgeting.

OUR MONEY MANIFESTO:
These are our guiding principles at Thrive - how we think about our money, our spending, and living our best life.
We’re in a crisis of debt overload.
If old fashioned budgeting worked then none of us would be in debt.
Saving money is easier when we don’t feel it.
Money should be enjoyed.
Shopping feels better without the guilt.
Working towards a goal makes it that much sweeter.
The right information gives us the power to make decisions.
Not all debt is bad. Bad debt takes away our freedom. Good debt helps us grow our dreams.
Technology can help us make better decisions, instantly.
We are tired of the judgment and shame around money.
Spending money and buying things is not bad.
Small changes make a big difference.
I control my life when I take control of my money.
No one should be a slave to money.
