ABOUT

1.0

Everything we do begins with a deep understanding of the founders we invest in.


Acorn was founded on three observations: 

1. The most enduring companies start small, and the first cheque shapes them more than any other.

2. A once-in-a-generation shift in how we power, move and build, driven by climate and public investment in innovation.

3. Great founders are everywhere, yet early capital and hands-on support remain concentrated in a few cities.

We’re inspired by the shifts reshaping how we live, work and move, including the energy transition, the rebuilding of our cities, and a desire for human connection.
