What will happen when Robinhood meets the public markets?

Forging ahead amid furor over the GameStop saga, stock trading app Robinhood filed confidentially for an IPO in the U.S., the company revealed Tuesday.

To be honest, there’s not a lot to add beyond that. A confidential filing is—well—confidential, offering no details in the ways of financials, unpublicized lawsuits, and potential risks. Sure, there’s some context to throw in: Robinhood decided to pause the buying of GameStop shares earlier this year after a band of traders coordinated a short squeeze on the stock, which resulted in a marshland of conspiracy theories about Robinhood working in tandem with hedge funds, political theater as Congress grilled an evasive Vlad Tenev over the move, and some actually thoughtful conversations around the flaws of Payment for Order Flow. But Robinhood has appeared to benefit from a growth in users due to the surge in stock-trading interest. The only thing that appears to be smarting is its brand.

Here’s what I’m mainly thinking about the IPO with the few details we have now: Robinhood’s brand has been about democratizing finance—which in part led to the massive outcry against the company when it paused retail trading of GamStop shares. The initial public offering process, meanwhile, has often been criticized for allocating shares to the underwriters’ favored clients. How Robinhood will structure its IPO (and whether it will allocate shares to its own base of customers, for example) will no doubt come under the spotlight. 

And if customer dissatisfaction does become a big deal, retail traders will be able to express it through Robinhood’s public stock.

BEVY: It’s perhaps unsurprising that Bevy, a virtual events platform focused on enterprise customers, has raised additional funding at this moment.

But it is rare for a company to set such concrete goals on diversity. Roughly a year ago, Bevy had no Black employees among its 27 employees. But after the killing of George Floyd last year, the company set a goal to have Black and Latinx employees represent 20% of its workforce by Sept. 2021, says CEO Derek Anderson. With five months to go, Bevy is on track, with 14% of its now 100-large workforce representing those demographics as it seeks to hire another 150 employees total in the next year.

The roughly four-year-old business has also sought to reflect its diversity efforts in its investor base. On Wednesday, the Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup announced that it had raised $40 million in Series C funding, valuing it at $325 million. Investors in the round included Accel Partners, LinkedIn, Qualtrics co-founder Ryan Smith, and Upfront Ventures, as well as 25 Black individuals working in tech. With the new capital, 20% of the $61 million or so Bevy has raised to date is represented by a Black investor. (Bevy isn’t alone in this push: Finix last month allocated 10% of its latest funding round to Black and Latinx investors.)

“Our message is that people can do this. This is not rocket science,” says Kobie Fuller of Upfront Ventures, which led Bevy’s Series A funding round in 2018.

If everything goes well for the company, it could mean greater wealth creation for Black and Latinx employees and investors.

But the 20%-of-capital figure includes funding raised through Upfront—which brings up the question for me: What are the demographics of Upfront’s limited partners, who would also stand to gain at a liquidity event? That part of the venture capital chain remains opaque, and Fuller was light on the details as it pertained to Upfront. 

That, says Fuller, detracts from the point, which is to effectively bring in more Black and Latinx investors who can in turn attract even more such founders, investors, and employees into the fold.
