Founder & Managing Partner at Ribbit Capital · Joined 2012
View Live Interactive Profile →Meyer 'Micky' Malka is a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur whose path into venture capital ran through regulated finance rather than software. He helped build the online financial services platform Patagon.com, acquired by Santander in 2000, then co-founded Banco Lemon, a Brazilian retail bank later acquired by Banco do Brasil - real operating experience inside brokerages and banks across Latin America and the United States. He founded Ribbit Capital in 2012 and used that background to identify category leaders in financial services years before generalist investors were comfortable underwriting them, making early bets on Coinbase, Nubank, and Robinhood that now sit among the most valuable fintech positions in venture capital. Ribbit's public messaging has broadened past fintech into commerce, identity, data, energy, and AI, but its center of gravity remains the same specialty it started with.
