Stock Trading for the Masses: Robin Hood Raises Another $50M

byDan Gray

in FinTech, News

Since its launch in December 2014, over half a billion dollars has flowed through the Robin Hood stock trading app. Offering no-commission transactions and a much more accessible experience than traditional stock trading, the service has attracted a significant number of young first time investors. Following their high profile Series A in September last year, with cash from Snoop Dog and Jared Leto, they’ve just pulled together a $50M Series B led by New Enterprise Associates.

Where is the new cash going to go? International expansion, according to co-founder Vladimir Tenev. There’s certainly many of us around the world keeping an eye on the app, and it seems like Australia is next on Robin Hood’s agenda. The company is also keen to expand the service to Android, and double the headcount of its team of 30 in Palo Alto.

“We’re excited about doing a country by country rollout,” said Vladimir Tenev, co-founder of Robin Hood.
