*Expanding retail access to private markets with Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI)*

For too long, private markets have been out of reach to everyday investors, but at Robinhood we believe access shouldn't be limited to a select few. That's why we are excited to announce today that Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) has filed an initial registration statement on Form N-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to begin the process to register a public offering of its shares. Managed by Robinhood Ventures DE, LLC, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Robinhood Markets, Inc. (Robinhood), Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) is a closed-end fund that aims to offer retail investors exposure to companies at the frontiers of their industries, while they are still private.

"For decades, wealthy people and institutions have invested in private companies while retail investors have been unfairly locked out. With Robinhood Ventures, everyday people will be able to invest in opportunities once reserved for the elite," said Robinhood Chairman and CEO Vlad Tenev.

The number of publicly traded companies in the US has fallen from about 7,000 in the year 2000 to about 4,000 in 2024,\* shrinking the number of investable opportunities for retail traders. At the

------

same time, private companies are growing in number and value, with the estimated value of these firms in the US now surpassing $10 trillion.\*\* Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) aims to expand access to this important and often closed-off part of the market.

Today's filing is Robinhood's latest effort to democratize access to private markets globally, building on our <u>launch of private tokenized stocks</u> in the EU earlier this year. Similar to private tokenized stocks in the EU, Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) will serve as a vehicle for retail investors in the US to participate in private markets and gain exposure to companies while they are still private.

The Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) investment program will focus on a concentrated portfolio of private companies at the frontiers of their respective industries. Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) plans to hold investments for the long-term through IPO and beyond, and will seek to invest across a number of sectors.

The Form N-2 registration statement is subject to SEC review and the shares may not be sold until the registration statement is declared effective. We intend for the shares to be traded under the symbol RVI on the NYSE and retail investors will be able to buy and sell through brokerages like Robinhood Financial LLC.
