This trend mirrors the global tech correction and ongoing market uncertainties. • Market Insights: Carlos Ramos de la Vega, LAVCA's Head of VC, provided an in-depth analysis of Q2/H1 data, highlighting key market trends, pivotal deals and notable exits. • Expert Panel: Our insightful panel featuring Jimena Pardo of Hi Ventures (formerly ALLVP), Rodrigo Baer of Upload Ventures, Rafa de Haro of COMETA and Carlos (CK) Kokron of Qualcomm Ventures shared their perspectives on the current market dynamics and what to expect in H2 and beyond.
