Acorns was started in 2012 by father and son Walter and Jeff Cruttenden, and its headquarters is on California Avenue in UCI Research Park. Its best-known feature, Round-Ups, invests the spare change from card purchases into diversified portfolios. The company says it has had more than 16 million customers.
