ACORN

CAREERS

Join our team and help founders build what comes next

Conviction

We back people and ideas before the rest of the market sees them. That takes independent thinking, rigorous preparation and the courage to act early. Everyone at Acorn is expected to form a view, share it openly and defend it with evidence. We would rather be decisive and occasionally wrong than cautious and always late to the best founders.

Collaboration

The best decisions at Acorn are made together. Investors, operators and platform specialists sit at the same table, and every deal is shaped by the whole team. We share what we learn, credit each other generously and leave our egos at the door. Diverse perspectives make us sharper investors and better partners to the founders we back.

Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that diverse perspectives and teamwork lead to better solutions. We’re committed to providing an inclusive and supportive work environment where all employees can thrive. We encourage open communication, knowledge sharing, and working together to achieve our common goals.

Long-term view

Enduring companies take time, and so do enduring careers. We invest across decades, not quarters, and hold ourselves to the same standard. That means backing companies that are good for the planet and the people who use them, and building a firm our team is proud to grow with.

Founder-first

Founders take the biggest risks, so we work hard to earn their trust. We answer quickly, give straight feedback and show up when things get difficult, not just when they go well. Every role at Acorn exists to help founders move faster, hire better and build companies that last. If it does not serve founders, we do not do it.

Our entire business revolves around understanding and serving the needs of people. Whether it’s our customers, employees, or partners, we want to build meaningful experiences and communities. We believe that by putting people first, we can create long-lasting relationships and provide products and services that genuinely improve lives.
