December 9, 2020, | AtoZ Markets – Robinhood Market, which provides the stock trading app "Robinhood," has selected Goldman Sachs to lead the IPO. According to Reuters, Robin Hood's corporate value is estimated at $20 billion. In the most recent funding round in September this year, it was valued at $11.7 billion.
So far, it has raised more than $2 billion, according to US research firm Pitchbook, and has been funded by major VCs such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and D1 Capital Partners.
Robinhood, which helped popularize commission-free stock trading, particularly among millennials, has seen a new generation of novice traders flock to its stock, options, and cryptocurrency trading platform during the covid-19 pandemic.
Notably, the Robinhood platform was founded only in 2013, and its client base grew to 13 million users in May.



As a reminder, Robinhood raised $660 million in September this year, reflecting its total value of $11.7 billion.
We also recall that a month ago, AtoZ Markets reported that almost 2,000 brokerage accounts on the Robinhood platform were compromised as a result of a hack attack. This hack became the largest in the history of Robinhood. Moreover, the affected customers claimed that they had two-factor authentication installed.
