What is Striver?

We created Striver for two reasons. First, because we believe in the power of connection. When we connect with others who share our values, we can create lasting change. Second, because we want to make it easy for you to discover sustainable businesses, events, and conversations.
Our platform makes it easy for you to share your ideas, build communities, connect with like-minded individuals, and collaborate on projects that will make a positive impact on the world.
With Striver, we can make sure that we are feeding our information into an ecosystem that shares our values for building a sustainable future. This means that our perspectives and stories can reach a highly targeted audience and be used to propel meaningful change in our communities and the world.
We must all play our part in ensuring that the world does not become a battleground for competing interests, but instead a place where everyone can work together towards a common goal – a sustainable future.
Listings
Our web directory is an online collection of sustainable brands, services, and resources organized by category and location. It is essentially a directory of links to other websites, arranged for easy navigation.
Listings are useful for users who are looking for specific information or resources on a particular topic. By browsing through the categories or searching for keywords, users can quickly find relevant websites and explore them further.
Listings can also be beneficial for website owners, as they can help drive traffic to their sites and improve their search engine rankings. By submitting their websites to our directory and ensuring that their listings are accurate and up-to-date, website owners can increase their visibility and reach among a highly targeted audience.
Publications
We believe in the power of sustainable businesses to change the world for the better. That's why we specialize in showcasing these innovative brands and services through our online Publications.
Our copywriting director works tirelessly to create professional and engaging content that highlights the unique value proposition of your sustainable brand. By showcasing your brand on our unique platform, we help you stand out in today's crowded market and connect with people who are looking for sustainable solutions.
Groups
The Groups feature on our platform provides a space for members to create and join communities centered around topics related to environmental, social, or economic sustainability.

Testimonials
Daniel T.
Founder, Ohmmm Care
It's a godsend for startup sustainability brands like Ohmmm Care and gives way better reach and ROAS (return on ad spend) than Facebook, Google, or Instagram ever did. We've been able to acquire new customers much faster than when we did with other social media platforms. We applaud Austin for the fantastic job he's done so far with Striver and look forward to utilizing the platform for the long-term. Highly recommended!
Luke A.
I appreciate and am grateful for the work that you're doing. I see a lot of people filling in the blank of "How do I?" for literally any topic, and you've definitely created something that has the potential to serve as a green business directory.
