About Henrique Dubugras

Henrique Dubugras is co-CEO of Brex, a fintech startup aiming to overhaul the corporate credit card.

He met his cofounder Pedro Franceschi through a Twitter argument in 2012, when they were both high school seniors living in their home country of Brazil.

In 2013, the cofounders launched a payments startup called Pagar.me for small business in Brazil and sold it to a larger Brazilian rival in 2015.

Dubugras grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and attended Stanford with Franceschi for less than a year before they dropped out to start Brex in 2017.

He became a billionaire in January 2022, when Brex, based in California, raised money from private investors who valued Brex $12.3 billion.
