If you’re like most people, you probably think of Acorns as a startup accelerator. But the company is more than that. Acorns is a community of investors who want to help startups grow and succeed. If you’re not familiar with Acorns, here’s how it works: every day, Acorns sends out an email to its members letting them know about new startups and their potential investments. Members can then vote on which startups they want to invest in. The voting process is simple: each day, members can post a comment on one of the startups’ pages or on the company’s website. Then, other members can vote on which commenter they think should be given an investment opportunity. The goal of the voting process is to help members make informed decisions about which startups to invest in and help them connect with potential investors. And it’s working! In the past year, Acorns has invested in over 100 companies and helped them grow from idea to reality.
