What Thrive Alternatives does

Thrive Alternatives is a Singapore-headquartered, partner-owned global GP advisory firm founded in October 2021 by a team of former Eaton Partners senior executives (Chris Lerner, Gianluca D'Angelo, Jackson Chan, Jing Yu, and Robin Tyrangiel). The firm advises private market managers—spanning private equity, venture capital, private credit, NAV finance, and other alternatives—on fundraising, secondary transactions, M&A and GP solutions, and provides investment management services to select institutions and single family offices. Since inception it has reported $6.8B in cumulative capital closed, 260 LP commitments, and 18 primary funds raised, with a stated 100% repeat client rate and 10x PEI Award recognition.

The firm is differentiated by a proprietary AI-enhanced relationship management platform branded Current™ (originally launched as Asense) intended to strengthen signal, coordination, and follow-through across client engagements. Services are delivered through a network of 14+ offices spanning Asia-Pacific (Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Melbourne), EMEA (London, Birmingham, Turin, Barcelona, Dubai), and North America (New York, Cleveland, Boston), supported by around 40 professionals including approximately eleven Managing Directors and multiple Senior Advisors with average 25+ years of partner experience. Regulatory reach in the US runs through Pickwick Capital Partners (FINRA/SIPC) and in the UK through Robert Quinn Advisory (FCA-authorized), enabling cross-border securities distribution without duplicated licensing.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on advisory and placement mandates, supplemented by managed-services economics from the investment management affiliate. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, with a stated focus on concentrated, relationship-driven engagements rather than volume-based mandates. The firm has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public listing.
