Our take

Brex started its life focused on providing credit cards aimed mainly at startups and SMBs, but has gradually evolved its model with the aim of serving as a one-stop finance shop for companies. With 1,000s of software integrations, Brex is the largest modern corporate card platform, helping businesses scale and fuel growth.

Brex has adapted to the changing market by expanding the size of the businesses it serves, now covering all companies from startups to enterprises. It's over 20,000 customers are based in 100+ countries, resulting in the company processing tens of billions of dollars in transactions.

The company has raised significant capital, most prominently a debt financing round of $260 million in 2024, and reached a valuation of $12.3 billion in 2022. With the landscape of companies clamoring to meet financial needs increasing by the day, Brex is well set to see continued growth.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Brex

Brandon Sidney  headshot

Brandon Sidney (Manager, Culture Programs)

  • Brex prides itself on creating a culture of inclusion that celebrates the diversity it naturally attracts. Rather than minimize our differences, we applaud them for the richness they add to our workforce and our ability to make informed decisions. Brex employees represent more than 40 nationalities and speak more than 30 languages, resulting in an elaborate backdrop against which individuals grow and thrive
  • Relying on a range of talents, interests, perspectives, and backgrounds -- and united by a common mission -- employees are encouraged to reach across perceived boundaries to collaborate and solve complex problems. Brex’s success relies on the wide range of perspectives and ideas available to teams and decision-makers
  • Featuring an intense customer focus and unrivaled global ambition, we created a culture where every voice has a platform, regardless of background or origin
  • When we made the decision to embrace a “remote-first” culture, it gave us the opportunity to reimagine how we do things from the ground up, and that includes our approach to diversity. We are erasing the muscle memory of how a company traditionally operates. In its place, we’re building a culture of connection, inclusion, and transparency, where everyone is on an equal footing regardless of where they live
  • Our company culture survey results show that 91% of the company believes Brex is an inclusive place to work, and 89% believe Brex values diversity – both of which reflect highly on our commitment to diversity
  • Diversity is more than just a number. It’s also about the way that we invest in our culture and communities at Brex. With our investment in connection, we embrace our company value of One Brex and weave diversity into everything we do as a culture and a company
