Where our story meets our why: 
To spark human thriving, together...
Let's dive in!

We are a membership community and our mission is to spark human thriving. As leaders, when we thrive, we elevate everyone in our orbit, and meaningfully increase our impact on the world.

Our vision is to be the most vibrant and values-led community on the planet, a place where people show up as themselves, connect honestly, and grow together. Here, belonging comes before achievement, and every member is valued for who they are, not just what they’ve done.

Our Community

01

Creators, founders, dreamers and life-adventurers.

02

Leaders at the top of their game but hungry for more.

03

People who crave meaning, not just milestones.

04

Those disillusioned by status-based networks, eager to connect beneath the surface.

05

Adventurers at heart, driven not by ego, but by the desire to grow and elevate.

The Strive Collective Experience

Striver Stories

Strive brought a new dimension to my life 10 years ago, fuelling my passion to see young people thriving, and allowing me to join a community of thoughtful and visionary people who have real agency. The connections I have made through the Strive Collective have been the catalyst for my own projects, giving me renewed purpose and focus.

Paul Williams
Co-Founder, Bloomberg Engineering

Strive has changed the way I see the world, community and possibilities. I found a home and a family I didn’t expect to find. I admit, I’m addicted now :) Incredible experiences and adventures in beautiful places, with brilliant fun leaders, all there to enjoy and make an impact in the world. Can’t think of anything better than that.

Ilana Golan
Founder & CEO, Leap Academy

"Honestly the world needs its most innovative and fearless people to pool their resources, talents, compassion, and generosity. Strive is the best model I've seen for this, so this feels right to me."

Paula De Fougerolles
Author and Mediaeval Historian

“Strive has inspired me to dream bigger and challenged me to push myself farther. It’s an extraordinary community—I’ve never made lifelong friends so fast.”

Adam Grant
Author, Professor, Organisational Psychologist

“Being part of The Strive Collective enables us to come together to create real change; to think bigger, to become stronger and to strive for purposeful impact. Striving takes us from Alive to Thrive”

Lara Milward
Neuroleadership Coach AKA Mama Strive

"We have seen the positive ripple effect Strive has had on the world for over ten years, the aggregate of which is too great to measure. This next chapter promises to be even more impactful."

Freddie Hooper-Grant
Managing Director, The Strive Collective

“Strive has been the most exciting adventure of my life. It's pushed me beyond my limits and shown me what’s possible when you surround yourself with incredible, purpose-driven people. I’ve made lifelong friends and memories I’ll treasure forever.”

Susie Ma
Founder, Tropic Skincare
