Recently learned that ThriveThemes has been sold and is now under the umbrella of the Awesome Motive team led by Syed Balkhi.
Time will tell if this is a good thing or not. When companies get sold things are not always the same even with the promise of nothing will be different. I had been with ThriveThemes since 2015 so have to wait and see. Syed Balki has been on my “follow” list for some time and I have used lots of the different companies he has under his umbrella. So will see how they honor the values and how they do business. I have followed Shane and wonder what he is up that caused him to sell.
Per the letter when Shane MeLaugh announced the news:
First, let me(Shane MeLaugh) tell you what it doesn’t mean:
- Yes, the owners of Thrive Themes are changing, but for the most part, it will be business as usual.
