Huge congrats to @pedroh96 @hdubugras and the entire @brexHQ team. It is not often two 20 year olds decide to move to the US from Brazil and build a fintech company and exit at $5B+. I have learned so much working with the both of you and it was the privilege of a lifetime to see you build Brex Here are my fun and favorite stories 1/ 2017: @hdubugras decides he does not know how to hire engineers in the US and applies for a job at a startup to go through the full process and then asks to meet with the CEO and converts them into an angel investor 2/ Before hiring the first employee, Pedro and Henrique decide they need to see if the company will be even worth a $1B. They attend an accounting class at Stanford to build a model which Michael Tannebaum then tears apart 3/ Pedro's written culture: Pedro has so much empathy that it is unmatched to most leaders. When the going got tough, @pedroh96 - you led with intensity, optimism every single day and that showed through every part of Brex. Your letter to the company about the role your mom played in shaping you during your toughest times in your childhood is by far one of the best and most inspiring letters I have seen from a leader to date You put together an incredible team - Michael, Camilla, Ben, Art, James among so many others that stayed in the trenches every single day. You should be proud and a new chapter begins. And kudos to my former partner @daltonc who spotted them at YC, accepted them into the batch for a VR idea, convinced them to pivot to Brex and always said: this team is special.

India’s red tape actively punishes founders. RBI blocks recurring charges on business credit cards. I can’t even pay for basic fucking SaaS with my OWN card. Every month I have to email international vendors asking for manual payment links. Unnecessary bullshit friction and we can’t have our subscriptions suddenly stop. @ReferRush runs on 20+ subscriptions to various software providers and we still use a personal card to keep the company running. This is table-stakes infrastructure. In the US, this never crossed my mind. In India, it wastes founder time every single month. This is how innovation quietly dies.
