With this acquisition, Acorns welcomes Zeta cofounders Kevin Hopkins and Aditi Shekar to the team. They bring deep experience in the couples and family space, which is especially meaningful as Acorns accelerates its family product strategy. As an early investor in Zeta, Acorns has long believed in the startup’s mission to support shared financial journeys and improve financial outcomes for families.
“Financial wellness evolves with every life stage, and this acquisition addresses a critical transition from singles to couples,” said Noah Kerner, CEO of Acorns. “We’re excited to make it easier for couples to grow their wealth together—with a shared plan for the long-term.”

This marks the fifth strategic acquisition in under two years for Acorns. In 2023, the financial wellness app purchased GoHenry, the leading money app for kids in the UK, and PixPay, Europe’s debit card for teens. Acorns acquired money management company, Chronifi, in 2024, and announced its acquisition of EarlyBird, a financial wellness app for families with kids, this spring. These moves reflect Acorns’ vision of being a financial wellness system for the whole family, creating compound growth at every life stage.
“From the beginning, Noah and the Acorns team recognized that shared finances is a growing paradigm in the world of personal finance,” said Aditi Shekar, cofounder of Zeta. “This next chapter is about making it easier for people to be money partners planning, investing, and growing together, with confidence.”
