Vladimir Tenev (Robinhood)

Thursday, August 4, 2016, 1:00 – 4:00 AM UTC

After graduating from Stanford, roommates Vladimir Tenev and Baiju Bhatt moved to New York, where they built trading platforms for some of the largest financial institutions in the world. They began to realize that electronic trading firms pay effectively nothing to place trades in the market yet charge investors up to $10 for each trade — and thus the idea for Robinhood was born.

About this event
