Yeah, I think the reason that I've been pushing very hard on private markets is a lot of these companies that we talked about in this conversation, SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic.
these are companies that either have gone public in trillion-dollar valuations or will likely go public in multi-trillion-dollar valuations.
So we're in a very fragile moment right now where a lot of this value creation is accruing to a smaller and smaller group of wealthy insiders that just keeps getting wealthier.
And the days of
You know, you investing in a company like Microsoft or Amazon, in evaluations of hundreds of millions and seeing 1000 x or 10,000 x return in the public markets as a retail investor seeming harder to come by.
And so
We want to make it easier for companies to go public and we have efforts there.
But there's a chance those don't work and we could fail.
I mean, those efforts could be successful and companies could just still be going public at trillion dollar valuations because raising capital privately will continue to be easy.
and get easier over time.
So we have to unlock these private market opportunities.
And that's why I'm so passionate about Robinhood Ventures.
I really think this is our next crusade and our mission.
Can we democratize private markets?
Can we make it so that a retail investor has the ability to take ownership with appropriate safety and guardrails at the earliest possible stages where the risk is highest, but also the opportunity is greatest?
