Watch Acorns’ CEO Noah Kerner sit down for an in-depth interview with NY Post’s Lydia Moynihan. Kerner explains that Acorns gives users the opportunity to compound savings from daily transactions, and start investing. Acorns prides itself on providing opportunities for everyday people to grow wealth. Kerner told the Post, “How do you make the responsible tools of wealth-making that have been afforded to people who have a lot of money, available to everybody else?”
Kerner explains that his experiences witnessing wealth inequality while growing up in New York City led to him founding Acorns, “That was a really fundamental part of growing up in the city. Going to public schools until high school, and then at night playing tennis. My father got me into tennis when I was very young… so I was playing with these kids at night who came from wealthy families, and that dichotomy was very formative.”
