ThriveHive

ThriveHive was a Boston-based guided marketing platform for small businesses (10 or fewer employees), founded in 2011 by Max Faingezicht and Adam Blake and part of the Techstars Boston 2015 class. It was acquired by Propel Marketing (GateHouse Media) in 2016 for $11.8M and the brand was folded into Gannett's LocaliQ after the 2019 GateHouse-Gannett merger. The company published no public API or developer portal; thrivehive.com now serves LocaliQ content behind an expired TLS certificate.
