# Thrive Raises Billions In New Funding For AI, Space Investments

**Josh Kushner's** venture capital firm **Thrive Capital** has raised more than $10 billion for a new fund, Thrive X, which will target investments in AI applications, infrastructure, robotics and life sciences.

The funding round saw abundant investor interest as the VC firm "turned away billions in prospective investments," a Bloomberg article stated.

Kushner's Thrive is the backer of major artificial intelligence and fintech companies such as OpenAI, Stripe, SpaceX and Skims. 

Kushne commented on X:  "We are pleased to announce the close of Thrive X. Exceeding $10 billion, Thrive X comprises $1 billion designated for early-stage investments and $9 billion designated for growth-stage investments. We do not view this as a milestone, but as a commitment to the long work ahead.”

The fund “reflects the continuity” of the company’s approach, the post continued. 

Kushner’s brother, Jared, is President **Donald Trump**‘s son-in-law.

Thrive X doubled the size of its last fund. Thrive IX raised more than $5 billion in 2024, its largest-ever fundraise. This was split between a $4 billion late-stage investment fund and a $1 billion early-stage fund. 

The New York City-based firm was founded in 2009 and focuses on internet and software investments. The firm first invested in OpenAI in 2023, when the company was valued at $29 billion, according to the Bloomberg article. 

The firm has also backed SpaceX, which is understood to have a $1.25 trillion valuation following its merger with xAI.

The company also invested in Stripe, a payment processor, for $3.6 billion in 2014. Stripe is understood to be considering a tender offer, which will allow employees to sell shares at a valuation of $140 billion, Bloomberg noted.
