Where do you want to grow?

Government Contracting

The government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the U.S. — local, county, state, and federal agencies buy everything from toothbrushes to technology. Our consultants help you get registered, research opportunities, and navigate the process. Ask us about set-asides and special opportunities for 8(a), local, and woman-owned companies.

Defense & Aerospace

Do you sell a part, technology, or innovation in demand by the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, NASA, or a defense manufacturer? Working with our resource partners at APEX and other agencies, Thrive can set you on the path to DOD contracting. Don't miss Oakland County's annual Defense and Aerospace Conference.

Child Care Business Support

We help child care businesses thrive in Oakland County with access to capital, site location, workforce development, and more — so you can grow and build for sustainability.

Business Intelligence

Analyze data to make data-informed decisions. We help leverage data from SEO, usability, market research, GIS, and AI — making it applicable, affordable, and understandable for businesses of all shapes and sizes. (Coming soon!)
