Quick Answer

RVI (Robinhood Ventures I) holds 14 positions with $655.30M in assets. As of the June 30, 2026 disclosure, its largest named holdings are Databricks (12.71%), OpenAI (11.00%), and Stripe (4.33%), with SpaceX at just 1.25%. Cash equivalents account for 31.77% of the fund โ€” an unusually large share for a vehicle marketed on private-company exposure. SpaceX completed its Nasdaq debut on June 12, 2026, and the disclosure filed 18 days later shows the position at a fraction of its earlier weight; RVI is structured to hold private companies, and the filing does not explain the change. Holdings are disclosed periodically and shift as the fund adjusts positions.

RVI is sold as liquid, exchange-traded access to late-stage private companies. What the June 30, 2026 disclosure actually shows is a fund with 31.77% of its assets in cash, a 1.25% SpaceX position, and OpenAI at 11.00% sitting behind Databricks at 12.71%. That is a materially different portfolio from the one this fund was marketed on.

Knowing what RVI actually holds โ€” position by position, from the disclosure rather than from secondary-market estimates โ€” is the only way to evaluate whether you're paying a fair price for the exposure you're actually getting.

Correction โ€” August 25, 2026

Earlier versions of this article listed SpaceX at 1.25%, OpenAI at ~18%, and Anthropic at ~13% of NAV, describing a portfolio ~73% concentrated in five private companies. Those figures reflected pre-IPO secondary-market estimates and did not match Robinhood's disclosed holdings. Anthropic does not appear in the disclosure at all. All figures on this page now come from Robinhood's disclosed holdings as of June 30, 2026.

Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII) Is Coming

Before digging into Fund I's holdings, know that there are now two Robinhood Ventures funds. Robinhood Ventures Fund II (ticker: RVII) is set to begin trading on the NYSE on August 13, 2026 at an expected $25 per share โ€” the same sticker price RVI listed at in March. It's the same closed-end wrapper around a very different portfolio: 80 early-stage companies, every one connected to Y Combinator, near-equally weighted at ~1.12% each, versus the concentrated late-stage bets on this page.

The fee structure is heavier too: a 2.00% base management fee plus a 20% incentive fee on realized capital gains, for an estimated 4.18% total annual expense ratio per the fund's registration statement โ€” roughly double RVI's blended cost. Robinhood is offering up to 8 million shares, including up to 400,000 sold by Robinhood Markets itself.

We're tracking every confirmed and undisclosed detail on the living RVII flagship page: launch date, holdings, and how it differs from RVI, and we've broken down all 80 portfolio companies on the interactive RVII dashboard.

The Complete RVI Holdings List

RVI discloses holdings quarterly through SEC filings, and Robinhood announces major position changes directly โ€” like the fund's $75 million OpenAI purchase in April 2026. As of the most recent reporting period, the portfolio spans approximately 12โ€“15 private companies acquired via secondary market transactions. Allocation percentages are estimates based on disclosed NAV and reported position sizes โ€” they shift as companies raise new rounds (which marks up the portfolio) or as the fund buys and sells positions.

Source: Robinhood's disclosed RVI holdings as of June 30, 2026. The fund holds 14 positions in total; only the largest are named individually in the disclosure.

What the RVI Holdings Concentration Means for Risk

The named positions in the disclosure add up to roughly 29% of the fund, and cash equivalents to another 32%. That is a very different risk profile from a concentrated private-market bet โ€” and it raises a different question for buyers.

You Are Paying Fees on Cash

With 31.77% of the fund in cash equivalents, roughly a third of your expense ratio is being charged against a position you could hold yourself for free. At a 2.13% net expense ratio, that is real drag on the portion of the fund doing no work.

SpaceX Exposure Is Now Marginal

SpaceX sits at 1.25% of the fund as of June 30, 2026, after listing on Nasdaq on June 12. If you bought RVI specifically for SpaceX exposure, the disclosure shows you are getting very little of it โ€” and SpaceX is now directly purchasable as a public stock.

Concentration Sits in Databricks and OpenAI

Databricks (12.71%) and OpenAI (11.00%) are the two positions that meaningfully drive returns, together just under 24% of the fund. Both are AI-adjacent, so they would likely compress together in a risk-off environment.

Disclosure Lag Is the Real Unknown

Holdings are disclosed periodically, not continuously, and this snapshot is dated June 30, 2026. Composition can shift materially between reporting dates โ€” as the change in the SpaceX position between our earlier reporting and this disclosure demonstrates.

How RVI Acquires These Holdings

RVI doesn't invest directly in funding rounds alongside a16z or Sequoia. It buys on the secondary market โ€” purchasing existing stakes from employees, early investors, or prior fund holders who want liquidity before an IPO. This has three important implications:

  • 01RVI pays secondary prices, not primary round prices. For SpaceX, that means paying a price that reflects recent secondary marks โ€” now anchored by the $1.77T IPO valuation โ€” not the $100B valuation from 2021 rounds. The fund's cost basis is much higher than early investors'.
  • 02Secondary availability is supply-constrained. Getting meaningful exposure to SpaceX or OpenAI on the secondary market requires either paying up or waiting for sellers. This limits how much RVI can accumulate and at what price.
  • 03Transfer restrictions apply. Private company shares typically require company consent to transfer, and some companies (OpenAI being notable) have imposed restrictions on secondary trading. This can limit RVI's ability to sell positions if it needs to rebalance.

You can track how RVI's composition compares to other pre-IPO fund structures on the Robinhood RVI Fund tracker at Value Add VC.

The Two Scenarios That Define RVI's Return

With Databricks and OpenAI driving most of the fund's company exposure and roughly a third of assets in cash, two scenarios largely determine whether RVI outperforms over the next three to five years:

Bull Case: The 2026 IPO Wave Delivers

  • OpenAI's $730โ€“850B September target prices at or above range, marking up the fund's second-largest position
  • Databricks, the largest holding at 12.71%, follows in the next IPO window at a higher multiple
  • The 31.77% cash pile gets deployed into new private positions at attractive entry prices
  • Retail demand drives the NAV premium higher, amplifying share price gains beyond underlying returns

Bear Case: IPO Pops Fade, Multiple Compression

  • The 31.77% cash position stays uninvested, and holders keep paying a 2.13% net expense ratio on assets doing nothing
  • AI model pricing wars compress OpenAI margins โ€” its IPO prices below the filing target
  • Retail enthusiasm for pre-IPO funds fades once buyers notice how little private exposure they are actually getting
  • The NAV premium collapses as the portfolio looks less differentiated from what investors can buy directly

The RVI holdings story changed materially in mid-2026, and the marketing has not caught up with the disclosure.

Roughly a third of the fund is cash and SpaceX is down to 1.25%. Before buying at a NAV premium, check the latest disclosure yourself โ€” the exposure you think you are getting may not be the exposure you are paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does RVI hold?

As of the June 30, 2026 disclosure, RVI holds 14 positions totaling $655.30M in assets. The largest named holdings are Databricks (12.71%), OpenAI (11.00%), Stripe (4.33%), and SpaceX (1.25%). Cash equivalents make up 31.77% of the fund. Holdings are disclosed periodically and can shift materially between reporting dates.

Does RVI hold SpaceX?

Yes, but it is a small position. As of the June 30, 2026 disclosure, SpaceX represents 1.25% of RVI โ€” not a top holding. SpaceX listed on Nasdaq on June 12, 2026 at $135 per share, and the disclosure filed 18 days later shows the position at that reduced weight. RVI is structured as a private-company vehicle, and the filing itself does not explain the change. Earlier coverage of this fund, including our own, described a far larger SpaceX position; that reflected pre-IPO reporting and no longer matches the disclosed data.

What percentage of RVI is OpenAI?

OpenAI represents 11.00% of RVI as of the June 30, 2026 disclosure, making it the second-largest named position behind Databricks at 12.71%. OpenAI filed a confidential S-1 on May 22, 2026 targeting a $730โ€“850 billion IPO valuation for a September 2026 debut, against a private-market mark near $852 billion. The position is a meaningful bet on OpenAI's enterprise moat surviving AI model commoditization.

Does RVI hold Anthropic?

Anthropic does not appear among RVI's disclosed holdings as of June 30, 2026. Earlier coverage โ€” including earlier versions of this article โ€” listed Anthropic as a major RVI position. That is not supported by the current disclosure, and we have corrected it.

How often does RVI update its holdings?

RVI discloses portfolio holdings quarterly through SEC filings (N-PORT and annual reports). Since the fund holds illiquid private company securities, valuations are marked based on third-party estimates and recent financing rounds โ€” not real-time traded prices. This means the NAV can lag actual secondary market prices by weeks.

Can RVI change its holdings?

Yes. RVI can buy and sell positions on the secondary market, and the fund's manager actively manages the portfolio. If a company IPOs, RVI may hold or sell the public shares. If secondary pricing becomes unfavorable, the fund can reduce exposure. Holdings composition can shift meaningfully quarter over quarter.

What is RVII, Robinhood Ventures Fund II?

RVII is Robinhood's second retail venture fund, expected to begin trading on the NYSE August 13, 2026 at $25/share. Where RVI concentrates in a handful of late-stage giants, RVII holds 80 early-stage Y Combinator-connected companies at near-equal ~1.12% weights, behind a 2.00% base fee plus 20% incentive fee (~4.18% estimated total expenses).
