Description
Join us for an Ecosystem talk with George Lucas, CEO of Acorns Australia, to hear about their unique retail investor capital raise.
Acorns is a micro investing app allowing users to round up purchases and invest the spare change amount into a diversified portfolio. The Acorns team successfully raised $1m through taking an unorthodox approach to capital raising. Retail investors were given the chance to invest in Acorns with a minimum amount of $5000. This unique approach allowed Acorns users to directly invest into the company.
In this Ecosystem talk, George Lucas takes us through his journey of fundraising and shares his key learnings with us. You will learn:
- Why Acorns took this approach
- What the steps are
- What has to be considered after a raise
- And other key take aways
