You should not consider the statements in the communication attached as Appendix A in making your investment decision with respect to the Offering, including, in particular:
•The statement that the Fund allows investors access to the best in class frontier technology companies. As disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Fund seeks to invest in private companies that, in the view of Robinhood Ventures DE LLC (the “Adviser”), are “best-in-class” growing companies at the frontiers of their respective sectors and industries. The Adviser considers a “best-in-class” company to be a company within the Fund’s investable universe that the Adviser believes has one or more competitive advantages relative to other companies in its sector, and the Adviser may consider more than one company within a single competitive sector to be “best-in-class.”
•The statement regarding the Fund’s existing portfolio of companies. As disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Fund has entered into a binding agreement to purchase shares of Stripe Global Holdings Inc., but this investment is not expected to close until after the closing of the Fund’s initial public offering, and is subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.
•The characterization of the Fund’s fee structure as “low fees.” While the Fund believes that its fee structure is competitive, the Fund disclaims the characterization of “low fees” as a determination for the investor.
