Snoop Dogg, Nas and Jared Leto have delivered a shot of star power to the latest round of financing for Robinhood, a new no-commission brokerage website that hopes to make trading stocks as easy as hitting "X" on Tinder. The startup announced this week that it raised $13 million in Series A funding, led by Index Ventures as well as Howard Lindzon of StockTwits and the trio of celebs.
Robinhood raised $3 million in seed money back in December 2013, with early investors including Index, Andreessen Horowitz, IT Ventures and QueensBridge Ventures, Nas' Los Angeles-based venture capital firm. See a full list of investors here.
