Jimena Pardo

Jimena brings over 10 years of entrepreneurial experience developed in multiple tech companies. She began her journey in the entrepreneurial ecosystem after co-founding Carrot, the region’s largest car sharing and P2P mobility marketplace which was Hi Ventures’s first investment back in 2012. Her time as Carrot’s co-founder and CEO led her to become an Endeavor Entrepreneur. Jimena continued her path as an operator at Meta (Facebook), where she served as Product Growth Manager.

She came back home to Hi Ventures in May 2022 to co-lead the firm along with Federico Antoni. Today, she is Hi Ventures portfolio company’s best ally for operative guidance, founder-to-founder empathy and product strategy.
