You’re invited to a fireside chat with Baiju Bhatt on Sand Hill Road on June 18 at StrictlyVC


We’re thrilled to announce that Baiju Bhatt, co-founder of Robinhood and founder and CEO of Aetherflux, will be joining us for a rare, intimate fireside

As the co-founder of Robinhood, he helped redefine how millions interact with the stock market — prioritizing clean design, user-centric product thinking, and, of course, commission-free trading. Since stepping back from his executive role at Robinhood, Bhatt has been quietly working on something radically new: Aetherflux, a space-based solar energy startup aiming to beam power from orbit to Earth using infrared lasers. At this exclusive gathering, Bhatt will pull back the curtain on some of lessons learned from building Robinhood; why he believes the future of energy lies beyond Earth’s atmosphere; what it took to transition from fintech to space tech, why now, and what he has encountered while fundraising in 2025.
