THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS

Let's not mince words: crypto funding is broken.

At Thrive, we’re not VCs and we don't do grants.

VCs take a cut of your business and grants are boring. We don’t take a cut of your funds and the word "grants" is no longer in our vocabulary.

What we do is fund and fund big.

We bet on you and make the process about you.

In fact, you could say we’re are putting the "fun" back in crypto funding.

Does this sounds like you?

You're grinding away building something that matters while projects with fancy pitch decks and zero working code swim in capital.

Many of the best builders are wasting time on grant applications that go nowhere while lesser teams with connections sail through.

It's not just annoying - it's killing innovation. It's choking the life out of projects that could actually move chains forward.

WE'VE SEEN ENOUGH

We got tired of watching brilliant builders get ghosted while hype secured millions.

So we partnered with @0xPolygon, @hedera, @apecoin and other top chains to redirect treasury funds where they belong: to builders who actually ship.

Over $100M in funding that goes to merit, not connections.

HOW WE DO IT

Our approach isn't complicated:

1. SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING. Not your pedigree. Your actual work.

2. HIT YOUR MILESTONES. Deliver what you promised. No excuses.

3. GET PAID. Funding flows based on execution, not empty promises.

That's it. No politics. No six-month application cycles.

We want you building within a week. Imagine that?

WHAT'S AT STAKE

Every day you waste chasing traditional funding is a day your competition moves ahead.

Every hour spent networking with VCs is an hour you're not building.

Don't be another "could have been" that died because the funding system hurts actual builders.

THE PAYOFF

Imagine what you could build if you could focus entirely on building.

Imagine funding that flows to merit, not connections.

That's what we enable—because when builders thrive, crypto prospers.

Our builders are based. Our funds are merit-based.

Thrive is Crypto Funding That Slaps.

We're thrilled to see @BNBCHAIN and @0xPolygon leading the charge in #SocialFi!

Pop Social has witnessed first-hand the immense growth stemming from both of these chains and is proud to have @popapp_official integrated with them.

Being a multi-chain project is critical for interoperability, allowing Pop Social to seamlessly link numerous users in #Web3.

As SocialFi continues to grow at a steady pace, capturing 13% of the market (248,042 daily UAW) in Q2 2023, the introduction of #AI features into the Pop Social Ecosystem ensures that 2024 will be a year full of potential.

With currently over 500k+ users, Pop Social is on the path to onboard billions of users soon. 🚀
