About
Micky Malka founded Ribbit Capital in 2012 as a fintech-only venture firm and backed Coinbase, Robinhood, Nubank and Revolut before financial technology was fashionable. The Venezuelan-born investor held the number 2 spot on the Forbes Midas List for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024, one of the most sustained runs near the top of the ranking.
