Thrive is an impact-led business on a mission to enable female founders, freelancers and change makers in Sussex gain the knowledge, clarity and community they need to grow a resilient, small business.
Wherever you are based in Sussex*, if you identify as a female founder, you have come to the right place!
Our carefully curated events and expertly designed learning tools enable you to develop your business management skills, nurture your entrepreneurial mindset and connect you with other women in business.
When you attend our events either in-person or online, you learn from, and network with, other women in business, and experience for yourself how supportive our community of female founders really is.
*If you live outside Sussex, you are - of course - welcome to attend our online events, accessible from anywhere in the world!
‘Thrive is a caring, supportive group which allows us all to realise that, whatever our business, we all share similar challenges, needs, desires, aspirations - and by sharing advice and ideas among each other, we can empower each other to “Just do it”! Thank you for creating such an environment’.
Bonamy Waddell, Founder and Data Storyteller, Bon Insight
