Thrive Go

The best LMS for small businesses

Thrive Go is a learning management system built for small businesses of 10 to 500, providing enterprise level features without the price tag.

Onboarding, compliance training and skills development made simple, with 1,000+ learning resources, mentoring and Kiki, our AI agent, included at no extra cost.

"I would definitely recommend Thrive to other organisations. It's a brilliant LMS. It's got that “pick up and play” factor for people who are very busy at work, but need to build content quickly. Ultimately it's a really great experience for the end user."

The employee training software small businesses actually need

"A super innovative platform. It's helped us embed a learning culture at Anthony Nolan and the user experience is really great from our colleagues' point of view."

Compliance training. Assign, track and evidence online compliance training for staff automatically, then see it all in one place with real-time analytics. No spreadsheets, no chasing.

Knowledge management. Stop knowledge walking out the door. Capture, organise and share what your team knows in one place, with Kiki on hand to surface it the moment someone needs it.

Skills management. Spot gaps, build skills and develop your people, whether or not you've got a dedicated L&D team. Our skills solution makes it simple to track progress as it happens.

Communication. No scattered group chats or email chains. Chat, share updates and connect your whole team in Spaces, keeping updates and company news all in one place.

The LMS features that set Thrive apart

Most small businesses are still learning from spreadsheets, or stuck with LMS platforms that overwhelm you with enterprise-level complexity and enterprise-level pricing. Thrive was built to fix that, for SMB teams around the world.

Bring all your systems into one place.

No more switching between five different tools your small team can't afford to juggle. Thrive Hub brings training, updates, collaboration and answers into one place, so your people can focus on the work that drives your company forward

Discover Hub
Build a mentoring culture from within.

Match mentors and mentees across your team, no need to hire in leadership coaches or build a formal programme from scratch. Mentoring comes included in every Thrive plan, no plugins or additional cost required.

The agentic AI L&D has been waiting for

All those wishlist resource items are now possible thanks to Kiki. Kiki coaches your people, clears your admin backlog and turns a two-day content job into a two-minute chat. You'll be wondering how you ever did learning without Kiki.

Meet Kiki →

Analyst

Kiki scans your dashboards and surfaces insights on compliance, engagement and performance the moment they appear. Spot gaps in seconds, not spreadsheets.

Creator

Type a prompt or upload a file and Kiki turns it into a finished course, quiz or interactive module in minutes. No blank page, no starting from scratch, just an extra creator on the team.

Coach

Kiki doesn't just mark it complete. Kiki asks the follow-up question, checks it landed, and pushes for real understanding, building skills that actually stick, not just a tick in a box.

Admin

Kiki archives stale content, tidies tags, changes permissions and chases course completions in bulk, all from one prompt. Work that used to take four hours takes two minutes, and nothing changes without your sign-off first.

Assistant

Kiki searches your content, your connected systems and even SCORM files, then gives you one answer, not a list of links to click through. Less searching, more doing.

More than just completions

Thrive was built with features that turn learning into actual business impact at speed, no matter how big or small your team is.

50%

96%

7 days

From initial sign-up through to a fully live platform for Community Justice Scotland, with the whole team on board.

"The Thrive team really worked hand in hand with us to look at what the platform could bring, and how we could mesh that with our agents to really drive performance."
