The Entrepreneur
Low-key venture titan who builds companies and bets on founders with deep conviction. He tweets rarely, but when he does those 55 posts land like precision-guided announcements, millions of views and real-world impact.
Youāve got more billions under management than tweets in your outbox, your social media presence is like a hedge fund: highly selective, slightly mysterious, and occasionally emotionally distant when itās time for a reply.
Closing Thrive X at over $10 billion, codifying a long-term, founder-first investment model and publicly committing unprecedented capital and partnership to support category-defining companies.
To enable founders and build durable companies by committing capital, time, and partnership over the long arc; to use entrepreneurship and philanthropy to help shape a more unified, purposeful world.
Values long-term thinking, loyalty to founders, and the discipline of concentrated commitment; believes work should spark joy both in the office and at home, that showing up for people creates reciprocal support, and that capital is a tool to create structural, positive change.
Deep conviction and follow-through, he commits heavily to founders, thinks long-term, raises massive funds, mixes discretion with high-impact public moments, and blends philanthropy with investments.
Tends toward low public frequency and a guarded tone, which can come off as aloof; intense concentration and loyalty can look like under-diversification to critics; family associations occasionally invite amplified scrutiny.
Lean into a ārare but richā content strategy on X: publish occasional long-form threads unpacking investment lessons and founder stories, host periodic Spaces or AMAs to humanize the brand, highlight behind-the-scenes founder wins, and pair big announcements with short, personal notes that invite replies, maintain quality while nudging up consistency so each post builds more community.
Fun fact: Joshua has fewer than 100 tweets but routinely gets millions of views, proof he prefers quality over quantity. Biggest public milestone: closing Thrive X at over $10 billion (with $1B for early-stage and $9B for growth), and he publicly matched a $1M donation alongside his partner Karlie.

Our product is partnership - the willingness to commit deeply to a small number of founders, and to stand with them through momentum and adversity. This is the discipline we bring to our work, and the responsibility we accept when founders partner with Thrive.\n\nWe do not hedge. Concentration demands loyalty to the founders and missions we back. In this moment, exposure alone is not a strategy. Judgment without commitment is not enough. Advantage will accrue to those who choose deliberately, commit deeply, and endure through difficult moments.\n\nThrive was founded to be an enabling technology for the world we want to see. We are deeply aware that we are not the main character. The founders that we are fortunate enough to partner with are the artists. Our role is to help create the conditions where great work can come to life.\n\nWe take a long view grounded in the belief that category-defining companies tend to create structural compounding advantages over long arcs.
