About Us

People hate performance reviews.
They find learning pointless.

We’re changing that.

Why we do what we do

Performance initiatives fail without actionable outcomes. We’ve seen firsthand how learning and people leaders struggle to create impact.

That’s why Acorn envisions a future where leaders have objective and productive conversations about performance, learners see what they need to have an impact, and organizations support every learner with a development plan from day one.

Learn4Good

Learn4Good leverages the Acorn community to invest in those doing social good around the world.

Learn4Good creates the stage for non-profits to reach the right people and teach them about what they do.
