BOB IGER RETURNS TO THRIVE CAPITAL AS ADVISOR

Iger's return to Thrive Capital marks his latest move after stepping down from Disney's top role. The veteran executive brings decades of experience in media and entertainment to the venture capital firm. Thrive Capital, founded in 2009, focuses on early and growth-stage investments across technology, consumer, and healthcare sectors. Iger's involvement as a venture partner was not his first engagement with the firm—he held equity stakes that continue to tie him to the organization. The appointment positions Iger to leverage his media industry expertise while maintaining an active role in the startup ecosystem. His track record at Disney, where he led the company through major acquisitions including Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, could provide valuable perspective for Thrive's portfolio companies. Iger has maintained an advisory capacity at multiple organizations since leaving Disney, signaling his continued interest in shaping the future of media and technology.
