The Brex Mafia

October 10, 2024

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.
