Thrive and End Bad Debt in America
Thrive’s ultimate goal is to end bad debt in America. The company is building the first on-line, 24/7 financial advisory for young adults who are always looking for how to make 2000 fast to pay the bills. They help people in their 20s and 30s gain control over their financial lives by helping them figure out what to do with their money-aside from spending it!
Thrive was conceived when the founders noticed that their 20 and 30-something peers had little access to credible financial planning. Not only that, many of them seemed out of control with their finances. Thrive quotes:
“Our users have long been ignored by traditional high-end financial advisors and have neither the time nor expertise for effective do-it-yourself financial planning. As a result, misguided financial decisions and poor timing cost our friends billions of dollars annually in unnecessary fees, finance charges, and missed opportunities. Unlike traditional firms who use baffling financial verbage, we’re here to speak your language and help you rethink the way you approach your finances.”
They have also been recently aquired back in Feburary by LendingTree.com. Defintely a great product for the current times. Avi and Matt have great passion for what they are building and it shows in the interview.
