Robinhood Markets Inc. reshaped how small-time traders buy and sell stocks. Now it’s trying to entice them to invest in companies going public -- including its own shares.
The company that popularized free trading made its case to investors of all kinds in a live-streamed presentation on Saturday. Although this type of event, called a roadshow, is typically limited to hedge funds and other institutions ahead of an initial public offering, Robinhood took the unusual step of making its presentation available for anyone to watch.
