Is there a chance of losing money that is invested in RobinHood? I am not talking about trading losses -- but some thing like RobinHood going under and me losing money as a consequence of that? Are there any protections for consumers?

Robinhood is SPIC insured upto $250,000. So you can get upto 250,000 worth of securities value back if company goes under. Scroll down on the link https://www.robinhood.com/

Yes, there is a chance, but there are very tight regulations about the company's capital requirements that are designed to ensure you're protected. The only thing you're particularly susceptible to is outright theft/fraud on the part of Robinhood.
