Two quick steps. A real person replies within one business day.

Step 1 of 2 What's driving you to look at this right now?

What the role is really for

You need the work done, not one more seat.

  1. Five skill sets, one rate

    Strategy, project management, design, engineering, and AI and cloud work, all at one hourly rate.

  2. Senior people only

    Senior designers and developers, with no juniors learning on your project.

  3. The same team stays

    The same people stay across projects, so nobody has to relearn your business.

Head to head

Two ways to cover the work.

Posting the role

One person with one skill set, found through a search that is slow, expensive and risky.

Embedding Thrive

A CTO, a project manager, designers and developers on one monthly retainer, resized each quarter.

Frequently asked questions

How is it billed?

One monthly invoice for the whole team. One hourly rate covers every skill set, and the retainer is set by the number of roles and the hours per role.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. The retainer is monthly with no long-term lock, and the team is resized each quarter as the work changes.

Who does the work?

A small, senior team. The people you meet are the people who do the work, with no juniors learning on your project.

How does it start?

It starts with a 30-minute video call, and the team onboards into your tools once you give the go-ahead.

What if we want to bring it in-house later?

Thrive runs a structured handoff to your new team, or stays on for fractional CTO support while they ramp.

Who owns the code?

You do. All code, IP and architecture are fully transferable, and the infrastructure is deployed in your accounts, not Thrive’s.

Where is Thrive based?

Calgary, Alberta. The first call is a video call.
