Michael Hershfield

Michael Hershfield is the founder and CEO of Accrue Savings, a company enabling leading retailers to create dedicated FDIC-insured wallets for their customers — driving acquisition, loyalty, and repeat purchasing. Inspired by how his Canadian upbringing focused on savings, Michael noticed that no one was really helping people save. With Accrue, he is addressing a critical gap in the shopping experience by providing a payment alternative that rewards consumers for saving.
 
Accrue Savings has received nearly $40 million in funding from some of the biggest names in venture and commerce – including Tiger Global; Box Group; Aglaé Ventures (a tech investment firm backed by Groupe Arnault); UPS CEO Carol Tomé and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin; Twelve Below; Red Sea Ventures; and more.
 
Prior to Accrue, Michael was an SVP of sales at WeWork for more than three years, and was a COO of Nucleus, a smart intercom that allowed people to have instant, rich conversation with the people they cared about the most. He has years of experience as a go-to-market leader and serial entrepreneur, with a focus on operations, sales and marketing.
