According to a LinkedIn Workforce Report, Asheville, with a population of under 100,000, is one of the nation’s top-10 fastest growing tech hubs, ranking alongside heavy hitters like Seattle and Austin. And a report from Zillow and Yelp noted Asheville is one of the top-10 cities in the country for digital nomads. With its bold entrepreneurial spirit, enviable location in the Appalachian Mountains, and robust dining, craft beer and music scene, Asheville is a perfect setting for THRIVE | Coworking, which offers flexible work solutions that include community and purpose for solo workers, and a dynamic hub for employees of large and small enterprises.
“THRIVE | Asheville, with both dedicated and shared workspace, is designed for professionals looking to work close to home. We offer a positive work/life balance that includes exciting, educational and service-oriented events to encourage a sense of collaboration among our coworking members,” said Chief Revenue Officer Chris Smith. “THRIVE is about community and inspiration, and downtown Asheville provides a fantastic neighborhood with a great atmosphere to live and work in, with amazing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.”
THRIVE’s purpose-driven coworking space is designed for a new way to work — to be connected, in a professional, inspiring, collaborative and stylish atmosphere. THRIVE also works directly with enterprises large and small to create hybrid work locations with all the amenities, convenience and culture employees want.
THRIVE | Asheville features free bottomless coffee/tea and snacks, as well as monthly breakfasts, lunches and happy hours, plus an ongoing roster of events and activities, from hikes to hang gliding. THRIVE | Asheville offers several monthly levels, from a basic Mailbox where a business mailing address is needed, to Shared or Dedicated space, as well as conference rooms for Meetings and Events.
In addition to Asheville, THRIVE | Coworking members have access to workspace in Alpharetta, Milton and Canton, GA, Columbus/Franklinton, OH and Holly Springs, NC.

THRIVE | Coworking also focuses on community and philanthropy. The company plans to drive local business by partnering with neighborhood retailers who will offer discounts on dining and services to coworking members, as well as anyone who participates in THRIVE | Initiative, the company’s 501(c)(3) micro-donation platform. The THRIVE | Initiative app rounds up credit or debit card purchases to the nearest dollar amount and lets users donate the difference directly to a locally participating charity. It is expected to be available this year.
Provides freelancers, entrepreneurs and enterprises a remote workspace for the contemporary, hybrid workforce. The curated culture features scheduled events and outings, 24/7/365 access, and monthly catered meals and happy hours in vibrant, walkable neighborhoods.
Global private-equity and real estate asset-management group 33 Degrees invested to open 500 THRIVE locations throughout the United States and Canada, enabling THRIVE to now serve enterprises struggling with their hybrid model and to acquire coworking operators who wish to exit or scale with THRIVE.
THRIVE | Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps charities, enterprises and communities thrive through the power of generosity. It does this by raising awareness of important causes, energizing corporate philanthropic cultures, and inspiring people to do good through service, giving, and shopping locally.
