Joshua Kushner
Joshua Kushner is the founder and managing partner of Thrive Capital, a New York-based venture capital and growth equity firm he launched in 2009. He is best known for early bets on companies including Instagram, Stripe, Robinhood, and OpenAI, and for co-founding Oscar Health, a technology-driven health insurance company. In recent years he has expanded beyond venture capital through Thrive Holdings, which applies AI to traditional services businesses, and Thrive Eternal, a permanent capital vehicle targeting irreplaceable hard assets such as cultural institutions and sports franchises, including a pending minority stake in the San Francisco Giants.
