CashDog on Robinhood Chain

Robinhood (originally codenamed CashDog during its conceptual phase) is navigating a transformative market period.

"Remember that CashDog biz we invested in? Yeah, it's Robinhood now." — GV partner who supported the deal.

Chan wrote one of the first checks back when it was called CashDog. The founders even brought their dogs into the Google Ventures office to pitch.

The founders once considered naming the app CashDog, after cashdogs.biz — a site that showed shibas lounging among stacks of $100 bills. Celebrity investors included Snoop Dogg and Ashton Kutcher.
