Jeffrey Cruttenden BA has developed a mobile app called Acorns, which enables people to invest small change on the go. Acorns’ piggybank investing model strives to take away the difficulties involved with investing, like hidden fees, hefty commissions, and risky propositions, so that college students (and others) can start investing sooner with less stress. The app’s name was inspired by the adage “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.”
