The Harvard Business School Latino Alumni Association, the Harvard Club of San Francisco, and Latinos in Finance, are proud to bring you Fintech Night with Ribbit Capital's Micky Malka in San Francisco, CA. The event is open to the public regardless of affiliation.
Micky Malka, founder of Ribbit Capital, will join us for a fireside chat covering various riveting topics including his journey to becoming one of the top FinTech investors around the globe, reinventing himself, FinTech trends such as the impact of AI on financial services, and the new blockchain global financial ecosystem. Micky’s investment thesis is best summed up by the firm’s mantra: “Ribbit. Because the world needs more financial innovation. And less financial engineering”.
Ribbit Capital’s portfolio companies include: zero-free trading app Robinhood (valued at $6B), crypto exchange and institutional solutions provider Coinbase (valued at $8B), robo-advisor Wealthfront, P2P small biz lender Funding Circle (originated $8.6B+ loans), and consumer credit resource platform Credit Karma (valued at $4B). The VC firm is now raising its 5th fund.
Event includes refreshments and food. For security purposes, must sign up for a ticket in advance. Tix sales close 4/29 at 6pm.
