Jimena Pardo co-founded Hi Ventures in an unusually full-circle way—she was originally the founder behind Carrot, which was the firm's first-ever investment, then returned a decade later as Managing Partner after gaining product experience at Meta working on initiatives like Facebook Dating. She brings a rare combination of being an early Mexican startup pioneer when the ecosystem was very small, plus later Silicon Valley product training, and now positions herself as bringing new product energy and a Web3/AI-forward perspective to the established LatAm fund.
