Lessons From Backing The Best Founders In Fintech | Micky Malka

He calls himself “an entrepreneur at heart and an investor by design”—a deliberately broad description that allows him to resist labels, which is precisely the point.
Micky Malka discussed Understanding Money by Aditya Nain and others. David Senra discussed Autobiography of a Restless Mind by Dee Hock and Jony Ive by Leander Kahney.
