Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Thrively is a legitimate, established EdTech platform (founded ~2013, not 2022) with verifiable adoption in US school districts and likely annual revenue in the $2M-$5M range, fitting the profile of a meaningful business. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), lazy technical details ('Internet'), and incorrect launch data. The score reflects the solid real-world utility and market presence of the actual company, heavily penalized by the poor credibility and lack of specific evidence in the submission.

Description
Thrively was born out of the belief that every child has a genius and they deserve to thrive. We created the industry’s first strength assessment to shift the focus from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What’s strong with you?” Our mission is to bring in a paradigm shift in education through asset-based learning. We help districts create strengths-based environments to drive increase in academic success, where every learner is known by their name, strengths, and needs, with their well-being supported and hope instilled so they thrive in the K-12 classroom and in life. Students are 30x's more engaged when their school is committed to building on their strengths. Our strength assessment is designed to unlock the strengths of every learner and help increase their confidence and self-esteem. We understand the transformative power of hope as a cognitive trait, and offer hope and well-being check-ins, to support students in developing agency and resilience, increasing student engagement and making learning exciting and meaningful. Join us in creating classrooms that are not just places of learning but communities where students can thrive and discover their fullest potential. 💪✨
