Professional Community Policies
Together, we can make Thrivania the best place for professionals to connect, grow, and find opportunity.
We want Thrivania to reflect the best version of professional life
Thrivania is a community where candidates, employers, and co-founders come together to find meaningful opportunities, build productive relationships, and grow their careers and businesses. The content you contribute should add to this community in a constructive manner.
These Professional Community Policies outline what is and isn't allowed on Thrivania. By using our platform, you agree to follow these policies. Together, we can make our community a place where everyone is able to learn, grow, and communicate — which in turn helps create economic opportunity for everyone.
Be Safe
Only bring safe conversations to Thrivania. Protect yourself and others.
Be Trustworthy
Use your true identity and share information that is real and authentic.
Be Professional
Keep interactions constructive and professional. Respect others' time and boundaries.
Tell us if you see abusive content
If you see something that may violate our policies — whether in profiles, posts, messages, comments, job listings, or anywhere else — please report it to us. Combined with our automated defenses, these reports help us identify and prevent abuse.
In addition to our trained content reviewers, we use AI-powered systems to identify potentially violating content. Violating content may be removed from Thrivania, and the responsible account may face restrictions.
Violating our community policies can result in action against your account or content
These policies apply to all members — candidates, employers, and co-founders alike. Depending on the severity of the violation, we may:
- • Limit the visibility of certain content
- • Label or add warnings to content
- • Remove content entirely
- • Temporarily restrict account features
- • Permanently suspend or terminate accounts
Repeated or egregious offenses will result in account termination. If you believe action taken on your content or account was in error, you can submit an appeal by contacting our support team.
Be Safe
Only bring safe conversations to Thrivania. Our platform exists to help people find opportunity — not to harm, threaten, or endanger others.
Do not post harassing content
We don't allow bullying or harassment. This includes targeted personal attacks, intimidation, shaming, disparagement, and abusive language directed at other members. Do not reveal others' personal or sensitive information (doxing), or incite others to do the same. You may not engage in trolling or other repetitive negative content that disrupts other members or conversations on the platform. This applies to all interactions — posts, comments, messages, job application feedback, and co-founder matching conversations.
Do not threaten, incite, or promote violence
We don't allow threatening or inciting violence of any kind. We don't allow individuals or groups that engage in or promote violence, property damage, or organized criminal activity. You may not use Thrivania to express support for such individuals or groups or to otherwise glorify violence.
Do not share content depicting the exploitation of children
We have zero tolerance for content that depicts the sexual exploitation of children. Do not share, post, transmit, or solicit child exploitation material through or using our platform. Do not use Thrivania in any way to facilitate, encourage, or engage in the abuse or exploitation of children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the appropriate authorities.
Do not promote or facilitate restricted goods or services
We don't allow content that facilitates the purchase of illegal or restricted goods and services. Do not post job listings for illegal activities. Do not use Thrivania to promote fake educational or professional certifications, proxy test-taking, or the creation of forged documents. The Challenges and assessment features must not be used to solicit or distribute answers to proprietary evaluations used by employers.
Do not share content promoting dangerous organizations or individuals
We don't allow terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups on our platform. We don't allow individuals who affiliate with such organizations to have a Thrivania account. Content that depicts, recruits for, or supports terrorism in any manner is not tolerated.
Be Trustworthy
We require you to use your true identity on Thrivania, provide accurate information about yourself or your organization, and only share information that is real and authentic. Trust is the foundation of meaningful professional connections.
Do not share false or misleading content
Do not share content that is false, misleading, or intended to deceive. Do not share synthetic or manipulated media (deepfakes) that depicts a person saying or doing something they did not, without clearly disclosing its artificial nature. Do not share content that directly contradicts guidance from leading global health organizations and public health authorities.
Do not create a fake profile or falsify information
We don't allow fake profiles or entities. Do not post misleading or deceptive information about yourself, your qualifications, work experience, affiliations, or achievements. Do not use an image of someone else or any AI-generated likeness that is not you for your profile photo. Do not associate yourself with a business or organization that you are not actually professionally associated with.
Do not use or attempt to use another person's Thrivania account or create a member profile for anyone other than yourself. Do not share your account credentials with anyone else.
Do not post fraudulent job listings or company profiles
Employers must post legitimate job opportunities with accurate descriptions of the role, compensation, and requirements. Do not use job listings to collect personal information for purposes other than recruitment. Do not create fake company profiles or misrepresent your authority to recruit on behalf of an organization. Co-founder listings must accurately represent the venture and what is being offered.
Do not scam, defraud, or deceive others
Do not use Thrivania to facilitate scams, promote pyramid schemes, or otherwise defraud members. Do not share malicious software or phishing links. Do not impersonate Thrivania staff or representatives. Advance-fee scams, fake investment opportunities, and employment scams that require upfront payments from candidates are strictly prohibited.
Do not manipulate AI features or matching systems
Do not attempt to manipulate or exploit Thrivania's AI-powered matching algorithms, profile generation tools, or assessment systems. Do not feed intentionally misleading information to AI features to gain unfair advantages in job matching or co-founder compatibility scores. Do not use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to extract data from the platform or to mass-interact with other users.
Be Professional
Thrivania's mission is to connect talent with opportunity using AI-powered matching. We allow broad conversations about the world of work, careers, and entrepreneurship, but require professional expression. Members should treat each other with respect and civility. Do not interact with others or share content in a way that's uncivil, inappropriate, or disrespectful.
Do not be hateful
We don't allow content that attacks, denigrates, intimidates, dehumanizes, incites or threatens hatred, violence, or discriminatory action against individuals or groups because of their actual or perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, or disability status. Hate groups are not permitted on Thrivania. Do not use slurs that incite or promote hatred, or any other content intended to create division. Do not post or share content that denies well-documented historical events.
Do not engage in sexual innuendos or unwanted advances
We don't allow unwanted expressions of attraction, requests for romantic relationships, sexual advances, or lewd remarks. Thrivania is a professional platform, not a dating site. Do not use Thrivania to pursue romantic connections, provide sexual commentary on someone's appearance, or send sexually explicit images. This applies to all interactions including messages, co-founder matching conversations, and post comments.
Do not share harmful or shocking material
We don't allow content that is excessively gruesome or shocking, including graphic depictions of violence, self-harm, or drug abuse. We don't allow content depicting nudity or sexual activity. Do not share content that promotes or encourages suicide or self-injury. If you see signs that someone may be considering self-harm, please report it to us and consider contacting local emergency services.
Do not spam members or the platform
We don't allow untargeted, irrelevant, obviously unwanted, unauthorized, or gratuitously repetitive messages or content. Do not use messaging features to send promotional messages to people you don't know. Do not mass-apply to jobs with generic applications. Do not use the Co-Founder Hub to promote products or services unrelated to genuine co-founder seeking.
Make the effort to create original, professional, and relevant content. Don't do things to artificially inflate engagement with your content, such as coordinated liking or sharing schemes. Do not use our platform to drive traffic to external sites in a deceptive manner.
Do not discriminate in hiring or recruitment
Employers must comply with applicable employment and anti-discrimination laws. Job listings may not include discriminatory requirements based on protected characteristics (race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, etc.) unless a bona fide occupational qualification applies. Do not use Thrivania's matching features or filters to discriminate against candidates based on protected characteristics.
Responsible AI Use
Thrivania uses AI to power features like profile generation, job matching, co-founder compatibility, and content recommendations. We expect all members to interact with these features responsibly.
AI-Generated Content Transparency
If you use AI tools (including Thrivania's built-in AI assistant or external tools) to generate substantial portions of content you share on Thrivania — such as articles, posts, or challenge submissions — you should disclose this when it is not obvious from context. AI-generated profile summaries created through our onboarding process are clearly marked and do not require additional disclosure.
Challenge and Assessment Integrity
Challenges and skills assessments are designed to evaluate your genuine abilities. Do not use AI tools, other people, or unauthorized resources to complete challenges or assessments that are meant to measure your individual skills, unless the challenge specifically permits it. Submissions found to be fraudulently completed may be removed and your account may be restricted.
Respect for AI Matching Results
Our AI matching system is designed to be fair and merit-based. Do not attempt to reverse-engineer matching algorithms or exploit them for unfair advantage. If you believe our AI systems are producing biased or unfair results, please report it to us — we take algorithmic fairness seriously.
Co-Founder Hub Guidelines
The Co-Founder Hub connects people seeking to build ventures together. These additional guidelines apply to co-founder interactions.
Represent your venture honestly
Provide accurate information about the stage, funding status, and nature of your venture. Do not misrepresent equity splits, time commitments, or what co-founders will receive. Be transparent about whether the venture is pre-idea, pre-revenue, funded, or generating income.
Respect co-founder matching conversations
Initial co-founder conversations are exploratory. Do not pressure matches into immediate commitments, demand NDAs before sharing basic venture concepts, or ghost matches without communication. Treat co-founder matching conversations with the same professionalism you'd bring to any business relationship.
Do not use the Co-Founder Hub for recruiting employees
The Co-Founder Hub is for finding genuine co-founders — partners with equity stakes and decision-making authority. Do not use it to recruit unpaid labor, interns, or employees under the guise of a “co-founder” arrangement. If you're looking to hire, use the employer features instead.
Intellectual Property
Respect others' intellectual property rights. Do not share content that infringes on copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights. This includes:
- • Posting articles, images, or media you don't have rights to share
- • Copying other members' profiles, content, or submissions
- • Sharing proprietary information from current or former employers
- • Reproducing challenge questions or assessment materials outside the platform
- • Using Thrivania's brand, logo, or content without permission
If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed, please see our Copyright Policy for information on how to submit a takedown request.
