Ribbit Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Micky Malka and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, investing globally in founders who challenge the status quo across financial services and adjacent frontier categories. Long the most focused fintech investor in venture, Ribbit backs companies reshaping money movement, wealth management, identity, data, and global commerce, and has broadened its thesis into crypto and blockchain infrastructure, AI, and energy. The firm invests from early stage through growth, historically concentrating on Series A and B rounds while following its winners over time, and reported roughly US$12 billion in regulatory assets under management as of 2024. Ribbit's portfolio of 150+ companies spans nearly every continent and includes many of fintech's defining outcomes such as Robinhood, Coinbase, Nubank, Credit Karma, Affirm, Revolut, Brex, Mercado Libre, and Groww, alongside newer bets in crypto (Solana, Ethena, Lightspark), AI (Cognition, Etched, Decagon), and energy (Base Power, Crusoe). In 2021 Ribbit partnered with Walmart to launch the consumer fintech venture now known as OnePay.
Firms are ranked by cumulative portfolio strength — how many highly-rated API companies they've backed, weighted by tier across composite quality and agent-readiness. The averages below are a secondary read on the typical company in the book.
Ribbit Capital has 149 portfolio companies tracked on the APIs.io network, of which 76 (51%) publish APIs indexed here. The remaining 73 are tracked as profiles without a published API on the network.
Its highest-rated API providers on the network are Stripe, Plaid, Stedi, Lightspark, Solana.

The 127 portfolio companies with APIs in the catalog, backed by
Ribbit Capital, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from
the catalog — nothing here is written.
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the
“Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own
coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.

mcp_pct counts any mcp/ artifact including ones API Evangelist derived from the provider OpenAPI; mcp_first_party_pct counts only servers the provider publishes. Prefer the latter.
This roster declares 149 members; 130
resolve to a provider in the catalog and 127 carry a score
(98%). The figures above describe the scored members only. Coverage caveat. 114 of 127 scored members had under half their catalog-attributable points satisfied at all (catalog_earned / catalog_max < 0.5). They are INCLUDED in the mean above. A large share here means the cohort mean is partly a measurement of how far our enrichment reached, not only of how these providers publish.Generated from the catalog build of
3 October 2026, across 28834
providers, using the same computation served by the
APIs.io cohort API. Briefs are published for rosters of
5 or more scored providers; below that a distribution is not meaningful.
