Noah Kerner: Micro-Investing & Robo-Investing | SALT Talks #83

Noah Kerner is the CEO of Acorns, a financial technology and financial services company specializing in micro-investing and robo-investing. Born in New York City, Kerner got involved with Acorns two months after launch as an adviser, investor, board director and then CEO. He is a 4X entrepreneur, Co-author of Chasing Cool with the former CEO of Barneys, and former DJ for Jennifer Lopez. Acting on a lifelong mission to level the playing field in a world of haves and have-nots, Acorns was founded to bring tools of wealth creation to everyone. The goal is to make it easy to save and invest even small amounts of money, where typically investment tools are reserved for the financial elites. Acorns has an initiative focused on opening children’s investment accounts, highlighting the importance and value of early, compounding growth. It also seeks to offer investment education to prevent less experienced investors from overreacting to short-term market swings. “The market swings every day. It's in the red, the blue, black. It's impossible to stay calm and make rational decisions… great investors stay the course.” ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit salt.org/talks Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.
