Deep dives
The Foundation of Thrive Market
Thrive Market was founded with the mission to make healthy and sustainable living more accessible and affordable. Established in 2014, the platform operates on a membership model similar to Costco, where members pay an annual fee to access a curated selection of organic and non-GMO products. The company emphasizes a rigorous screening process, accepting less than 1% of products for sale, ensuring high-quality standards while focusing on ethical sourcing and sustainability. With over 1.6 million paying members, Thrive Market has significantly expanded its brand, positioning itself as a leader in the health-focused online grocery marketplace.
