Thrive Local OC builds Smart City Passes for Orange County cities and communities to help connect:
Local businesses
Residents
Visitors and tourists
Each Smart City Pass is designed to support the local economy, improve visitor experiences, and give businesses a modern way to stay visible without competing for attention online.
Whether you’re a business owner, a local resident, or visiting the city for the first time, the Smart City Pass gives you everything you need—right where you need it.
For residents, a Smart City Pass becomes a living local guide.
Instead of searching multiple websites or social platforms, locals can quickly see:
What’s happening this weekend
New restaurants and businesses
Local events, live music, and best happy hours
Seasonal activities and community happenings
Because the pass stays on your phone, it becomes a simple way to stay connected to your city—without email lists, ads, or social media noise.
It’s a cleaner, faster way to support local businesses and stay in the loop.
A Smart City Pass gives visitors:
A trusted, local-first city guide
Real-time information while they explore
Easy access to food, experiences, and events
Clear directions and parking info
Local recommendations without tourist traps
Because the pass lives in their phone, it’s available the moment they need it—walking downtown, standing on the beach, or deciding where to eat next.
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
