Ribbit Capital was founded in 2012 by Meyer Malka, a former Goldman Sachs executive, with the singular focus of backing fintech companies that fundamentally reimagine financial services. The firm has built one of venture capital's most concentrated and successful fintech portfolios, with a track record of identifying category-defining companies before they become household names. Ribbit's investment philosophy centers on the complete unbundling and rebuilding of traditional financial infrastructure, from consumer banking and payments to crypto and embedded finance. The firm invests globally across all stages from seed to growth, with notable successes including early bets on Robinhood's commission-free trading, Nubank's digital banking revolution in Brazil, and Coinbase's cryptocurrency exchange platform. Malka and his team are known for their deep sector expertise and hands-on approach, often working closely with founders on product strategy and market expansion.
