That first institutional fund was $40 million and, in it, Thrive led Warby Parker's Series A, invested in Instagram, and incubated a business, which Josh co-founded, called Oscar. Their portfolio is stage agnostic and their track record includes many of the best known businesses from the past decade, including Spotify, Unity, Stripe, and Twitch among many more.

Send us a text#323 - Throughout life, we're told that as we get older, we should relax, take it easy, retire somewhere in the sun and then what...... we're supposed to just fade away?
