Noxa had CashCat Pons has MoneyDog Lore: In the earliest days, co-founders Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt used “Cash Cat” as the working name for the company. The concept even had a simple mascot idea: a cat clutching cash. Vlad Tenev later confirmed it publicly, and it lived on in profiles and interviews. Years later, Tenev shared a picture from the office while petting a dog, paired with a quote about how dogs make life whole. At the same time, the first “Money Dog” references appeared in early Robinhood Trading Discord chats. This dog later turned out to be his personal Shiba Inu and considered as the office dog by his workers at the Robinhood headquarters at 85 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025. 1 month after the picture, the official Robinhood Tiktok account shared a video showcasing the dog at the headquarters from multiple angles. The video even shows the famous crypto saying “WAGMI”, highlighting the money-mindset and mascot-like environment the dog is in at the Robinhood office. Shiba Inus are the face of crypto’s biggest dog memes and Robinhood has long been intertwined with that culture (heavy DOGE volume historically & multiple crypto listings as well). Tenev also has a long-running public affection for dogs (he’s called Robinhood “dog friendly,” posted dog content for years, and his family has been linked to rescue dogs). The company got the cat, Vlad brought the dog. Welcome to $MONEYDOG All creator fees go to the Money Dogs
