Zero-fee stock trading app Robinhood is getting a boost from its own investors.
The financial tech company announced Wednesday that it had raised $110 million at a $1.3 billion valuation, making it Silicon Valley's latest unicorn — the industry term for a startup worth at least $1 billion.

The app launched in late 2014, forgoing the transaction fees charged by more established brokerage platforms like Etrade and Charles Schwab, and billing itself as a way for everyday people to gain access to the financial services industry.
Since then, the company claims to have added more than 2 million users and facilitated $50 billion worth of transactions.
But many had questioned how the app would actually make money without the fees. The company answered that question last fall with a $10-per-month subscription tier called Robinhood Gold that gives traders access to features like after-hours deals and lines of credit.
The company claims membership has grown at a rate of 17 percent on a month-over-month basis since the launch.
With Wednesday's round, Robinhood has now raised a total of $176 million to date. The new money will go toward "accelerating the expansion of our products and services," the company says.
