About this event

Henrique Dubugras is Co-Founder & CEO of Brex — the first of its kind credit card for startups. A Brazilian entrepreneur, Henrique built payments company Pagar.me — the Stripe of Brazil — when he was sixteen years old. In just three years, Pagar.me grew to $1.5 billion in volume of transactions processed. Prior to Pagar.me, Henrique built a number of online businesses in Brazil including an online education company and an online dating application. His first engineering role was at Ingresse, a Brazilian online events management company, at the age of 14.

In the fall of 2016, Henrique sold Pagar.me and moved to Palo Alto to start his freshman year studying computer science at Stanford University. After eight months, he left school and moved to San Francisco to co-found Brex. Brex is the first corporate card designed for startups, born out of frustration when his company had 200K in the bank from investors and could not open a credit card account.
