Robinhood Markets announced on Monday that it will livestream the IPO roadshow for its Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII) on its app and YouTube on Aug. 3. CEO Vlad Tenev, CFO Shiv Verma, President of RVII Sarah Pinto, and Portfolio Manager Rich Aberman are expected to present at the event.
Unlike typical roadshows restricted to institutional investors, RVII’s presentation will be open to retail investors. Tenev teased the launch in a post on X, writing, “Mark your calendars. Robinhood Ventures Fund II is coming.”
Shares of the fund are expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RVII. The close-ended fund filed an initial registration statement with the SEC on June 30.
RVII plans to invest in early- and growth-stage private companies, with a primary focus on Y Combinator startups and alumni co-founded companies across sectors showing significant growth potential. The brokerage described the fund as bringing investors closer to “the early chapters” of company stories.
Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI), the company’s first publicly traded closed-end venture capital fund, debuted on the NYSE on March 6. That fund provides retail access to late-stage private companies like Databricks, OpenAI, Mercor, and Revolut, which together account for about 39% of the portfolio.
Since its launch, RVI has gained nearly 21% in value, with retail sentiment shifting from ‘bearish’ to ‘neutral’ amid ‘normal’ message volumes. One user said, “$RVI the smartest thing to buy is this.” Another commented, “$RVI awesome opportunity here.”
Meanwhile, HOOD stock is down nearly 17% in 2026, with retail sentiment currently ‘bearish.’ The announcement comes as Robinhood expands beyond core stock trading into cryptocurrency trading, prediction markets, private markets, and wealth management.
