AI investment platform Thrive Holdings completes $2 billion financing, SoftBank among investors

AI investment platform Thrive Holdings announced the completion of a $2 billion financing round, valuing the company at $12 billion, with participation from SoftBank, D1 Capital Partners, and Altimeter Capital, among others. Thrive Holdings was founded in 2025 by Joshua Kushner, founder of Thrive Capital. Unlike traditional investment firms, it does not directly invest in companies developing large AI models, but primarily acquires traditional service enterprises and integrates AI technology into business processes to improve efficiency. Its goal is to build platforms and products to introduce cutting-edge artificial intelligence into key industries that millions of enterprises and individuals rely on daily. The company had previously secured approximately $1 billion in initial funding.
