What is Thrive?
Founded in 2000 in Concord, Massachusetts, Thrive has evolved from a traditional IT services firm into a leader in proactive managed services for the SMB market. The company's strategic pivot towards managed services, rather than break/fix solutions, positioned it as an early innovator. Thrive's expansion has been fueled by strategic capital injections, including early seed investments from M/C Partners in 2016 and Court Square Capital Partners in 2021. The company specializes in delivering global cybersecurity, Cloud, and digital transformation managed services, enhancing resilience and innovation for its clients.

This capital infusion is expected to bolster its capabilities in cybersecurity, Cloud, and digital transformation services, enabling Thrive to expand its global reach and enhance its service offerings to meet the evolving demands of the digital landscape. The company's focus on proactive, managed solutions positions it well for continued success in the competitive IT services sector.
