Hi Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2012 and based in Mexico City, investing in Latin American founders building transformative companies with global ambitions.
The firm backs technology-driven startups from Seed through Series B, focusing on sectors such as fintech and financial services, the future of commerce, SaaS, healthcare, human capital, energy, mobility, and smart cities, and supports teams tackling Latin America’s hardest structural problems with scalable, tech-enabled solutions.
Hi has invested in more than 50 startups across the region through multiple portfolios, with realized outcomes that include Cornershop (acquired by Uber), R2 (strategic investment by Ant Group), and Atlas (acquired by Remote), while maintaining long-term positions in leading companies such as Fintual, Mendel, Nuvocargo, WonderBrands, Flat, and Yana.
The firm typically participates in early rounds with checks ranging from approximately $50,000 to $5,000,000, combining capital with **hands-on** support in product, go-to-market, organizational design, and fundraising, and leveraging a strong co-investor network that includes global funds like Sequoia, Accel, QED, Base10, and Bessemer, as well as prominent regional investors.
Hi Ventures is led by managing partners Federico Antoni and Jimena Pardo—who have worked together for over a decade and bring complementary experience as founders, operators, and investors—which underpins the firm’s reputation as one of Latin America’s most active and influential early-stage platforms for technology startups with global reach.
