You NEED to Watch This Before You Invest in the New Robinhood Venture Fund

For most of history, investing in early-stage startups was reserved for the wealthy and well-connected. Robinhood Ventures is trying to change that, and there's a lot you should understand before you consider it. Sarah Pinto (Head of Robinhood Ventures) and Rich Aberman join Gav to explain how their new fund gives everyday investors access to a diversified portfolio of early-stage Y Combinator startups, how it differs from their later-stage fund, how the closed-end structure and daily liquidity actually work, and the real risks of investing in an asset class where most companies fail.

Investing in early-stage and private companies is highly speculative and illiquid; most early-stage companies fail, and you could lose your entire investment.
