Robinhood private fund drops 16% early on, then rebounds 30%; it may face the impact of mega IPOs like SpaceX

Gate News message: On April 6, Robinhood’s private market fund Robinhood Ventures I has rebounded by about 30% after underperforming in its early stages. The product launched in early March; it fell 16% on its first day, and has since gradually recovered. It is designed to give retail investors a way to participate in late-stage private company equity. Analysts warn that as potential IPOs from tech giants such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic draw nearer, the private market may face near-term volatility pressure. If top companies’ public listing performance is weak, it could weigh on secondary-market valuations and affect expectations for unicorn IPOs, including Stripe. A Robinhood Ventures executive responded that the above concerns are more about short-term volatility; in the long run, there are still many investment opportunities. As AI technology continues to advance, the application ecosystem built around leading models will unlock substantial growth potential. The fund currently primarily invests in a small number of late-stage companies, including fintech firms Airwallex and Stripe, as well as AI company Databricks, acquiring equity through primary-market deals or licensed secondary-market transactions.
