Thrive

About

We are a motley crew of teachers, engineers, designers, researchers, and business people chasing after ONE mission – ‘Enabling personalized education for every child in Bangladesh”. To that end, we built a user-friendly platform for schools that makes them resilient to change and prepares them for 21st-century education. We care very deeply about the people we work with and design edtech interventions that are accessible yet powerful.

Why It’s A Part Of The Next Generation Of Startups

Considering recent times, the education industry has shaped drastically across the world. The change has given challenges to everyone associated with it. Thrive comes with a bunch of passionate individuals who had taken on the challenges and hit the opportunity to solve the problem for students, parents, and teachers. The learning management system makes sure that parents and teachers both are on the same page regarding the child’s academic progress. It gives educational institutions a great scope to continue their academic activities during such dire times. The mobile-first platform is accessible to the mass market and ensures no child is deprived of learning no matter what the situation is. NSU Startups Next considers Thrive as a tech-driven medium to fill in the gaps that the education ecosystem is dealing with.
