New York based technology platform for open communication between companies and their owners has raised $8 million Series Seed funding led by Point72 Ventures.
Noah Kerner, CEO of Acorns, and Cruttenden planted the idea for SAY when they first met. “SAY’s mission is fundamentally aligned with the purpose of Acorns, which is creating and empowering new investors,” Kerner said. “Through a partnership with SAY, customers of Acorns will gain a deeper understanding of and influence over what they own, which will give them even more control over how they live.” “SAY’s technology empowers shareholders, amplifies the voices of individual investors, and helps level the playing field with institutional shareholders. The more shareholders with SAY in how a company is run, the better run that company will be. SAY is the way to better run companies,” said Matthew Granade, Managing Director and Chief Market Intelligence Officer at Point72, who oversees Point72 Ventures.
