42. Gunnar Lovelace of Thrive Market

Stay Human

Growing up poor with a single mom as Latino immigrants left Lovelace with a burning desire to create wealth and do good. As a result, he is a 5x serial entrepreneur and investor, focused on social impact at scale (people, planet + profit). Lovelace is the Founder of Thrive Market (providing organic groceries online at wholesale prices), which has raised 200M+, has millions of users, has over 600 employees in four years, and is the first e-commerce company to go zero-waste from distribution center to landfill. Prior to Thrive Market, Lovelace started and sold two technology companies and is a co-founder of two other successful conscious consumer brands. Lovelace recently co-founded Alliance for Good, which is a community of influencers working together to create a thriving future for humanity and the planet.
