Worthy announced Monday has applied to the US Securities and Exchange Commission for the launch of a new fund negotiating in the State holding shares of newly established businesses.
The idea behind “Robinhood Ventures Fund I” is to allow every retail investor access Earn money for the hottest newly established businesses before they are made public.
While the current version of The application is public, RobinHood has not yet completed the fine printing. This means that we do not know how many shares he plans to sell, nor other details such as the management fee he plans to charge. It is also not clear which newly established businesses hope that this fund will ultimately hold. Bureaucracy says it “expects” to invest in aerospace and defense, AI, Fintech, Robotics as well as software for consumers and businesses.
RobinHood’s big step is that retail investors are left of the profits raised by boot investors such as VCS. This is true to some extent. The “accredited investors” – or those of net worth large enough to handle more dangerous investments – already have different ways to buy shares in newly established businesses, such as business companies such as Us.
Retail investors who are not rich enough to be accredited have more limited options. There are funds similar to those suggested by RobinHood, including Cathy Wood’s Venture Ark Venture Fund, a mutual capital holding entries in companies such as Anthropic, Databricks, Openai, SpaceX and more.
RobinHood’s latest attempt was controversial. The Commercial Company started what is called private stocks “Tokenized” In the EU earlier this year, implying that these brands gave retail investors the opportunity to make money from private companies such as Openai. However, Openai denounces the product, noting that the buyers of these brands did not actually buy the OpenAI – Tokenized stock or otherwise. They just bought brands that are linked to the prices of a share capital of a private company.
This new “Ventures Fund I Ventures I” is a more classic, mutual capital, approach. As for when the new Robinhood fund will be available, we don’t know it yet. Robinhood, who is in a quiet period, refused to comment.
