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.
