Odaily Planet Daily report: Robinhood’s listed fund, Robinhood Ventures Fund I, made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange this week, closing its first day at $21, a 16% decline. The fund aims to give retail investors access to investments in popular private companies, with a fundraising target of $1 billion; so far, it has raised $658.4 million (or up to $705.7 million if the underwriters exercise their full option). The fund’s holdings include companies such as Databricks, Stripe, Mercor, Oura, Ramp, Airwallex, and Revolut, but lacks exposure to highly anticipated high-valued upcoming IPOs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX—seen as the primary reason for weak retail interest. Robinhood stated it plans to expand the fund to include 15–20 high-quality late-stage growth companies and is actively seeking to secure equity positions in popular startups such as OpenAI.
