Thrive's model is buying traditional businesses and retrofitting them with AI, a different bet than pure model-layer investing and a signal that big capital sees enterprise AI adoption as a services and operations play, not just an API play. For investors, this is a data point that the rollup-plus-AI thesis is attracting serious late-stage money, worth tracking against similar plays from other labs' ecosystems.
