Brex was founded in 2017 by Henrique Dubugras and Pedro Franceschi, two entrepreneurs from Brazil. They initially aimed to start a virtual reality company in the U.S. but pivoted to financial services after recognizing the challenges startups faced in securing credit. Brex offers credit cards tailored for startups, providing high limits without requiring a personal guarantee.
The company quickly resonated with the startup community, expanding its services to include business accounts, expense management, and more. Brex has raised substantial funding, achieving a multi-billion dollar valuation, and continues to be a key player in the fintech space, adapting its offerings to meet the evolving needs of growing businesses.
The Brex Mafia has founded 21 companies and raised $202 million.
