Popular trading app Robinhood on Thursday [filed](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1783879/000162828021013318/robinhoods-1.htm) for its initial public offering, and disclosed that it will set aside up to 35% of shares for retail investors who rarely get to buy at a company's IPO price.
Driving the news: Earlier this week, Robinhood [agreed to pay](https://www.axios.com/robinhood-harmed-millions-of-customers-ff182dd2-c166-4447-b964-05903c8600ee.html) a record $70 million in fines and restitution, as part of a settlement with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority over providing customers with "false or misleading information."
- The deal was viewed as key to letting Robinhood "flip" its IPO filing from confidential to public.
- It plans to list on the Nasdaq under ticker symbol "HOOD."
Background: Today's move also comes several months after Robinhood came under fire for restricting certain trades, related to a burst of activity on GameStop and other meme stocks.
- The SEC continues to investigate the trading halt, which also sparked Congressional hearings, and Robinhood remains the defendant in several related class action lawsuits.
- It also was [sued by Massachusetts regulators](https://www.axios.com/robinhood-sec-lawsuit-massachusetts-violations-trading-6d349c57-c138-441d-a263-d5a225823dfa.html) for alleged securities law violations.
- The SEC also reportedly [slowed down](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-24/robinhood-ipo-plans-said-to-be-slowed-by-sec-review) Robinhood's IPO process over questions about its growing crypto-trading business, where assets grew from $481 million in Q1 2020 to $11.6 billion in Q1 2021 (aided by a major rise in Dogecoin trades).
Share set-aside: Robinhood says that between 20% and 35% of its shares will be allocated for sale to company customers, most of whom are retail investors, at the IPO price.
ROI: Robinhood has raised over $5.5 billion since being founded in 2013, including [$3.4 billion](https://www.axios.com/robinhood-investors-amc-gamestock-6cd7b237-004a-4ded-b91f-8313f885ef18.html) via a convertible note investment in the aftermath of the trading fiasco.
- Major VC backers include DST Global, Ribbit Capital, Index Ventures and NEA.
Financials: The Silicon Valley company reports a $1.44 billion net loss on $522 million in revenue for the first three months of 2021, but the entire loss was tied to a fair market value adjustment to the convertible note financing.
- It reported a $52 million net loss on $128 million in revenue for Q1 2020, and a $7.5 million profit on $959 million in revenue.
