Riive

riive is a cloud‑based collaboration platform designed to streamline communication, project management, and document sharing for small to medium‑sized businesses. Founded in 2018 by software engineer Thomas Liu and former project manager Maria Ortega, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The platform offers a unified workspace that integrates chat, task boards, file storage, and real‑time co‑editing, aiming to reduce dependency on multiple third‑party tools.

The core product, named Riive Workspace, is built on a modular architecture that allows users to add or remove features such as time tracking, budget monitoring, or customer relationship management. Riive emphasizes data privacy, employing end‑to‑end encryption and offering on‑premises deployment options for organizations with stringent security requirements. The company has integrated with popular productivity suites, including Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace, and Slack, to allow cross‑platform connectivity.

Riive has raised two rounds of venture capital funding: a $2.5 million seed round in 2019, led by Boost Venture Partners, and a $6.3 million Series A in 2021, completed by Growth Capital Partners and existing investors. The platform reportedly serves over 5,000 active users across more than 80 countries as of 2025, with notable clients in the tech, education, and nonprofit sectors.

Critical reception has highlighted Riive’s intuitive interface and strong customer support, though some reviewers note that advanced customization features remain limited compared to larger incumbents. The company plans to expand its API ecosystem to enable deeper integration with third‑party applications and to introduce artificial‑intelligence–driven analytics for project forecasting in the coming product releases.
