Henrique started coding at age 12 in Brazil and founded his first company, Pagar.me, at age 16 with co-founder Pedro Franceschi. He attended Stanford University but dropped out after eight months to build Brex through Y Combinator in 2017.

Henrique built Pagar.me (the Stripe of Brazil) which processed $1.5 billion in transactions before selling it to Stone in 2016. He was featured on Forbes' 2019 30 Under 30 Finance list and became one of the youngest self-made billionaires on the 2022 Forbes Billionaires list.

Brex processes billions of dollars in transactions annually and has grown to over 1,000 employees globally. The company raised over $1.2 billion in funding and revolutionized corporate finance by offering credit cards without personal guarantees and with 10-20x higher limits than traditional cards.
