Why should I attend? What’s in it for me?
Thrive isn’t just a conference, it’s the engine of a movement and ecosystem for Muslim and values-driven entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders. Whether you’re launching your first idea or scaling up, Thrive connects you to a trusted network—built over a decade by AMCC—of mentors, resources, and capital. Here, you join a real community that wants to see you grow and succeed.
What’s the story behind Thrive? Why does it matter?
Thrive has a legacy of launching success stories. We pioneered North America’s first Muslim pitch competition, giving LaunchGood, Muzz, Noor Kids, APEX Capital Group and many more their first platform—now global businesses impacting millions. Our network is so deep that even past volunteers have become successful entrepreneurs, building multi-million dollar ventures through the connections they made at Thrive. Every year, new startups, nonprofits, and founders find their path here. If you want to be part of the next wave, Thrive is your launchpad.
How is Thrive different from other events?
Thrive is where commerce, culture, and conscience meet in five industry tracks, a $10,000 Pitch Contest, and a living, year-round community. Our ecosystem extends beyond the summit, offering support, collaboration, and momentum built through over a decade of AMCC’s grassroots efforts.
Is Thrive only for big business or established founders?
No. Thrive is designed for startups, small businesses, early founders, students, and everyone in between, including conscious-driven consumers and community members. Our Pitch Contest and networking put everyone on a level playing field, so the next great idea—no matter how small it starts—gets the chance to be seen and supported.
Who is Thrive for?
Entrepreneurs, startups, small business owners, impact investors, brands, nonprofits, and anyone seeking to join a values-driven business community. If you’re building, growing, or simply curious, Thrive is for you.
