We’re Changing the Beauty Industry for Good.
Thrive Causemetics was born out of a friendship. Makeup artist and product developer, Karissa Bodnar, lost her dear friend Kristy to cancer at just 24 years old. Kristy’s compassionate and vivacious spirit inspired Karissa to establish Thrive Causemetics, a beauty brand and philosophy that goes beyond skin deep by empowering women.
Thrive Causemetics is Bigger Than Beauty™️: For every product you purchase, we donate to help a woman thrive. We believe changing the world starts with a single ingredient, and that’s why we create vegan, 100% cruelty-free formulas containing proven ingredients without the use of parabens or sulfates. All of our high-performance cosmetics are developed at Thrive Causemetics Lab—we control every step of the product development process, and a large part of it involves you.

• …Virtually Teleport remote experts to a jobsite.
• …Create breakthrough Immersive Communication experiences for messages and training.
• …Host a new type of Immersive Meeting, powered by Vv’s videogame-inspired Mind Merge technology, which is being used at-scale today for multi-user VR meetings, whether across rooms or across continents.
Construction and Engineering projects are exciting large target markets but are only the beginning for us. We envision a near-future that leverages AR glasses from Microsoft, Google, Apple and others to transform the way that we learn, work, and communicate across any and all industries that live and breathe in 3D datasets.

Change.org is the world’s largest platform for democracy.
At a time when dissatisfaction with democracy globally is at an all-time high, we’re investing heavily in using AI to build the most powerful tools in the world to give people greater voice, while bringing people across the political spectrum together to identify shared solutions.
Our core petitions platform, used by more than 100 million people annually, is growing rapidly - and we are rebuilding it from the ground-up using new tools to turn anyone into a powerful civic leader on the issues they care about. Soon we will launch a new platform to identify the >80% of issues that most people agree on, locally and nationally, and to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to advocate for those common-ground solutions.
To realize this vision, we’re expanding the most talented team in the world at the intersection of technology and social impact - all focused every day on building healthier democracies globally.
