Robinhood plans to host the roadshow for Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII) on August 3 for retail investors, as the company continues expanding into private markets. RVII will focus on early- and growth-stage private companies, with a strong emphasis on Y Combinator startups and businesses founded by Y Combinator alumni.

The company said it will broadcast the roadshow in real time through the Robinhood app and on its YouTube channel, even though such presentations are typically private meetings. The RVII roadshow will begin on August 3 at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT.

Robinhood Expands Its Private Markets Push

According to Robinhood, the RVII initiative is part of its broader effort to give investors access to companies at an earlier stage of growth. The company said the presentation is intended to offer a format that differs from traditional IPO roadshows, which are usually aimed at institutional investors.

The event is expected to include Robinhood executives discussing the firm’s investment strategy, portfolio approach and the vision for the new venture fund, as the company extends a platform that already spans cryptocurrencies, prediction markets, wealth management services and private investing. The move also places another product into Robinhood’s broader effort to widen access to asset classes that have historically been harder for retail investors to reach through conventional public markets.

RVII Will Target Pre-IPO and Early-Stage Businesses

Robinhood Ventures Fund II will invest in pre-IPO companies and other early-to-growth-stage private businesses, including those backed by Y Combinator and those founded by Y Combinator alumni.

Robinhood said the fund is designed to help address a gap in market access by giving eligible investors exposure to private companies before a standard initial public offering. The company also pointed to the growing demand for private-market investments, as many fast-growing technology companies continue to raise significant capital through private channels before reaching public markets.

SEC Registration Still Must Become Effective

Robinhood said it has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but the filing has not yet become effective. Because of that, the company said it is not currently allowed to redeem shares of the fund or accept investments.

Any future offer will be made through the official prospectus, which will set out the fund’s objectives, expenses, risks and operating structure.

Retail Investors Can Review Information During the Registration Period

While the fund remains in the registration period, prospective investors can review information about RVII before any offering takes place. Robinhood said investors should carefully review the prospectus once it becomes effective, noting that private-market investing carries risks such as illiquidity, valuation uncertainty and long holding periods.

Robinhood said the launch of RVII reflects its effort to expand access to asset classes that have traditionally been reserved for large investors and institutions, while maintaining compliance with U.S. securities regulations throughout the offering process.
