Robinhood – the easy-to-use, zero-commission trading platform popular with Millennials and stock market beginners – went from a valuation of $1.3B in March, 2017 to $5.6B in May, 2018 partially thanks to a major funding round that brought another $363M to the company’s coffers. As of September 29, 2026, HOOD is publicly traded and a $104B company.

Background
I finally signed up for Robinhood in March, 2020 just ahead of the coronavirus-driven market collapse. I received one share of GameStop (GME) for my efforts.
