You’ve got more billions under management than tweets in your outbox, your social media presence is like a hedge fund: highly selective, slightly mysterious, and occasionally emotionally distant when it’s time for a reply.

Closing Thrive X at over $10 billion, codifying a long-term, founder-first investment model and publicly committing unprecedented capital and partnership to support category-defining companies.

To enable founders and build durable companies by committing capital, time, and partnership over the long arc; to use entrepreneurship and philanthropy to help shape a more unified, purposeful world.

Values long-term thinking, loyalty to founders, and the discipline of concentrated commitment; believes work should spark joy both in the office and at home, that showing up for people creates reciprocal support, and that capital is a tool to create structural, positive change.

Deep conviction and follow-through, he commits heavily to founders, thinks long-term, raises massive funds, mixes discretion with high-impact public moments, and blends philanthropy with investments.

Tends toward low public frequency and a guarded tone, which can come off as aloof; intense concentration and loyalty can look like under-diversification to critics; family associations occasionally invite amplified scrutiny.

Lean into a ā€˜rare but rich’ content strategy on X: publish occasional long-form threads unpacking investment lessons and founder stories, host periodic Spaces or AMAs to humanize the brand, highlight behind-the-scenes founder wins, and pair big announcements with short, personal notes that invite replies, maintain quality while nudging up consistency so each post builds more community.

Fun fact: Joshua has fewer than 100 tweets but routinely gets millions of views, proof he prefers quality over quantity. Biggest public milestone: closing Thrive X at over $10 billion (with $1B for early-stage and $9B for growth), and he publicly matched a $1M donation alongside his partner Karlie.

We are pleased to announce the close of Thrive X. Exceeding $10 billion, Thrive X comprises $1 billion designated for early-stage investments and $9 billion designated for growth-stage investments. We do not view this as a milestone, but as a commitment to the long work ahead. We view Thrive as a company. Our product is partnership - the willingness to commit deeply to a small number of founders, and to stand with them through momentum and adversity. This is the discipline we bring to our work, and the responsibility we accept when founders partner with Thrive. We do not hedge. Concentration demands loyalty to the founders and missions we back. In this moment, exposure alone is not a strategy. Judgment without commitment is not enough. Advantage will accrue to those who choose deliberately, commit deeply, and endure through difficult moments. Thrive was founded to be an enabling technology for the world we want to see. We are deeply aware that we are not the main character. The founders that we are fortunate enough to partner with are the artists. Our role is to help create the conditions where great work can come to life. We take a long view grounded in the belief that category-defining companies tend to create structural compounding advantages over long arcs. This fund reflects the continuity of our approach and the ways our work has deepened alongside the founders we support. We are grateful for the trust our Limited Partners place in us, and for the opportunity to work alongside those who are building with purpose, integrity, and courage. https://t.co/7ymRAxb6uL

We are humbled to announce the close of Thrive IX. Exceeding $5 billion, Thrive IX comprises $1 billion designated for early-stage investments and $4 billion designated for growth-stage investments. At Thrive we aim to be concentrated in both people and ideas. The ways in which we approach our work are inspired by how our founders approach theirs. We only make a few investments a year, but our intensity and drive to show up for founders forges a bond that transcends good times and bad. We take a longer view than many — based on a belief that category-defining companies tend to create structural compounding advantages over long arcs. This long-term orientation is crucial to our strategy, as we aim to invest in and support companies that have the potential for sustained growth and transformation over many decades. These are guiding principles for Thrive IX. The technological breakthroughs that will occur over the next years will be unlike anything we have ever experienced before; And we view Thrive as an enabling technology for the future that we want to see. Business is an expression of the people running it. As we look to Thrive IX, I am filled with optimism, excitement, and purpose. I am deeply appreciative for the founders we are fortunate enough to work with, and our limited partners for walking this path with us. Their unwavering support and belief in Thrive underlies everything we achieve together. @thrivecapital/announcing-thrive-ix-60ee01645547">medium.com/@thrivecapital…
