Venture capitalist

Rodolfo Corcuera is a Mexican Internet entrepreneur. He is CEO of Higo, a payments platform for businesses in Latin America, which he co-founded with Juan José Fernández and Daniel Tamayo. He also co-founded Tandem, an office management platform, and Aliada, a housekeeping booking service with backing from Mexican investment funds as well as Richard Branson, which was later acquired by their competition Homely.

Career

Corcuera graduated from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) with a law degree. After working as a lawyer for White & Case, Corcuera launched Aliada in 2014, which raised $800,000 in funding. Corcuera and Aliada won "Pitch to Rich México 2016," a contest organized by Virgin Mobile and Laureate Mexico to promote projects of young Mexican entrepreneurs.

In 2020, Corcuera co-founded Higo as an alternative to traditional banking for businesses to pay each other. Higo raised $3.3M from US-based venture funds Homebrew, Susa Ventures and Haystack in March 2021, and then announced a $23M Series A financing round backed by Accel and Tiger Global, just six months after.
