That’s why Strive exists, to help make good things happen by making it easier to start something. It’s really that simple.

THERE’S SOMETHING…
Starting a business, whether it’s a community business or side hustle, is always about striving to do something.
That something could be any one of a hundred reasons for starting a business.
IT’S A GOOD SOMETHING…
Many of the people we’ve helped to start a business want to give back to their communities, provide for their families, reduce their need for government benefits, become role models or are fulfilling a lifelong dream.
AND THERE’S US…
We exist because striving to start something isn’t easy, but it almost always leads to good things.
We want more good things to happen, so we work to make starting something easier to do.
That’s our mission, to make more good things happen by making it easier to start something.
Do we help everyone?
Yes, we can help anyone to start a business no matter your background.
However, as a social enterprise if we make any profits from our work we’re committed to re-investing them to help grassroots entrepreneurs overcoming some form of disadvantage.
