Thrivist operates in the educational software market, providing a specialized learning and analytics platform for K-12 school districts. Founded in 2015 by Andrew McGarrity, the company developed a platform to address the shift from print to digital resources in the education sector.
The core of Thrivist's business is its Learning Management System (LMS), which serves as a centralized hub for teachers, students, and parents. This system enables educators to develop, deliver, and manage digital content, including assignments, quizzes, and grades. A key feature of the platform is its data analytics capability, which allows schools and districts to collect and analyze objective data on teaching practices and student engagement. This function is designed to help districts correlate learning activities with student performance and make data-informed decisions.
The business model centered on providing a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform to educational institutions. On July 6, 2016, the company received an early-stage venture capital investment from Crimson Ventures, which took a minority equity stake. This event marked a key milestone in its growth trajectory. Following a period of development and market penetration, Thrivist's assets were acquired by Tennessee Book Company, a subsidiary of Ingram Content Group, on May 30, 2017. The acquisition integrated Thrivist's digital platform with Tennessee Book Company's established print content distribution, creating a single source for both physical and digital classroom materials. Post-acquisition, founder Andrew McGarrity transitioned to the role of Director of Digital Solutions for Tennessee Book Company, continuing to steer the platform's development.
