Robinhood ft. Vlad Tenev - Reinventing Finance for a New Generation

Millions of Americans use their smartphones to invest and manage their finances every day—but before Robinhood started in 2013, finance looked very different. Investing was something for the wealthy, with steep fees charged on every trade, and was done exclusively on computers with arcane trading software. In this episode, co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev explains why Robinhood set out to democratize access to investing and reinvent it for a new generation, how it overcame immense challenges in that pursuit, and how it reinvented itself amid a market downturn with a holistic suite of customer offerings to mount an historic comeback.    Host: Roelof Botha, Sequoia Capital Featuring: Vlad Tenev, Micky Malka, Andrew Reed, Jason Warnick
