I recently sat down with OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar to talk about the road to AGI, the rapid pace of enterprise AI adoption, and how AI is aiming to accelerate scientific discovery in areas like healthcare and drug development. What stood out most to me was how deeply aligned our missions are: OpenAI is building artificial general intelligence to benefit humanity, and at Robinhood, we believe the economic upside of this generational breakthrough should be accessible to everyone—not just institutional insiders. For too long, the private markets have been gated. That’s exactly why we’re so excited to have OpenAI in the Robinhood Ventures Fund I (RVI) portfolio. We're giving retail investors a seat at the table. Full conversation below ⬇️

Ringing the Opening Bell at @NYSE this morning was a meaningful milestone. Companies are staying private longer, changing where much of the growth journey takes place. Our mission at Robinhood has always been to broaden participation in financial markets. Robinhood Ventures Fund I reflects that continued focus.

Robinhood Ventures Fund I is designed to give more investors exposure to private markets — an asset class that’s historically been limited to a select few. Order books close on 3/5 at 11:59pm ET: rbnhd.co/RVI rbnhd.co/RHV-433disclos…

When companies stay private longer, individual investors have fewer chances to participate in their potential growth. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what broader access could look like.
