Great Oaks Venture Capital

Congrats to Noah & the team Acorns on their $105M Series E from NBC Universal, DST Global & MSD Capital! Amazing growth and excited for the next chapter as Acorns grows from 4.5 million accounts to the goal of 100 million! https://www.cnbc.com//fintech-start-up-acorns-valued-at-86

So thrilled for the team Acorns! Proud to be a partner since launch! "A new $105 million fundraising round for Acorns whose namesake smartphone app automatically invests small contributions from users into baskets of stocks and bonds, values the startup at $860 million, the company said Monday. That is more than triple the valuation Acorns attained in a 2016 financing round, and it makes the startup worth more than robo-adviser rivals including Betterment."

Driven by word-of-mouth sales and an eco-focus, San Francisco's Allbirds has sold over a million shoes in two years. Though Allbirds has been profitable since launch, the Bay Area has seen plenty of companies who set out with high-minded plans to make a better widget, only to wind up bankrupt in short order. Thus far at least, Allbirds squishy, eco-conscious sneakers represent a rare Silicon Valley success story in the clothing industry.

A lot of those customers are bad customers in that they’ll never pay you what your product is worth, said Henry McNamara, a partner at venture-capital firm Great Oaks Venture Capital, which invests in startups including Allbirds shoes and meal company Plated. In general, free credits and referral bonuses are two things we push and urge our companies to avoid, he said. via the The Wall Street Journal

Thrilled for the launch of Acorns Later, from Acorns! Setting up a retirement account is confusing and, as a result, two out of three Americans aren’t saving for later in life, said Noah Kerner, Acorns chief executive officer, in a statement. Acorns Later removes friction from the decision making process, getting back to our central product philosophy: make big decisions small.
