In addition, the growth suite also includes Thrive Leads, Thrive Ultimatum, Thrive Automator, and Thrive Ovation.

With the exception of the two co-founders, the entire team will join Awesome Motive, which will be led by Brad Stevens, the current General Manager of Thrive Themes. The brand will operate independently.
