Y Combinator is a startup accelerator whose alumni include DoorDash, Instacart and Airbnb. Now, trading platform Robinhood says it wants to give retail investors a chance to back that organization's future graduates as it announced Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII), the second fund from Robinhood Ventures, on Wednesday (Aug. 5).

Robinhood's first fund designed to expand retail investors' access to private markets has drawn 150,000 retail investors, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said Tuesday (May 5).

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev is touting the success of the fintech's new Ventures Fund I, which allows retail investors to invest in private tech companies like Stripe, Oura, Databricks, OpenAI, and others, through a publicly-traded fund listed on the NYSE. “We had something like over 150,000 retail investors participate in the IPO, so it's quite democratized,” noted Tenev, in an interview at The Wall Street Journal's “Future of Everything” conference this week.

Robinhood Ventures Fund said it has purchased roughly $75 million in OpenAI common stock. “OpenAI is one of the frontier artificial intelligence companies, and we are incredibly proud to add them to the Fund,” Sarah Pinto, Robinhood Ventures' (RVI) president, said in a Wednesday (April 22) news release.

This is a developing story.
