Things just got real AF

[Pedro Franceschi @pedroh96]

Brex has reached $700M in total annualized revenue, growing 50%, and is on track to profitability.

The past 2 years have been transformative: sharper focus, higher standards, stronger culture.

Now growth is accelerating again, with our move into Europe being just one step on the journey.

This is the new @brexHQ. Thanks @GeorgeNHammond & @FinancialTimes for the feature. Link below.

@vcapretz @brexHQ Welcome to the team - excited to have you here!

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

Our Spring Release is the best one we've done yet. It's our highest quality bar, fastest output, and builds on a track record of delivering what we say, when we say it.

Our culture has shifted over the past year to be one of building over talking, ownership over diffusion of responsibility, and leaning into the hardest problems head on.

This shift isn’t just about shipping faster—it’s about a culture that compounds. This release, more than any other, is proof of that. And we’re just getting started.

[Pedro Franceschi @pedroh96]

Today, I’m thrilled to unveil @brexHQ 's 2025 Spring Release 🌱, bringing a whole new level of customization and control to every Brex user, from founders to finance teams.

It’s our fourth major release since Brex 3.0, and we continue to relentlessly raise the bar for quality and polish. Here’s a preview – I can’t wait for you to try it!

➡️ New custom fields: Now the data from your business systems syncs natively with Brex, so you can use any field from your ERP or HRIS to provision cards, change your policy, or automate accounting.

➡️ New custom roles: Customize user roles to match how you operate, giving teams exactly the permissions they need to do their jobs efficiently and securely.

➡ New AI policy engine: Create one universal policy with scenario-specific rules for departments, levels, entities, countries, and more using AI. Brex will intelligently apply it to every transaction — from bill payments to cards.

➡️ New admin home: Monitor your key financial metrics, such as balances, changes in cash flow, spend insights, and rewards, in one place — and take any action you need on Brex with one click.

➡️ New invoicing: We’ve also built easy invoicing right into your Brex business account! Send invoices, track payments, and get paid even faster if your customer pays you from their own Brex business account ;) 💸

➡️ AI-assisted vendor management: Automate TIN/W-9 collection using AI and have everything you need to file taxes when it’s time.

And these are just a few of the 50+ updates in the 2025 Spring Release 🔥. Check it out! ⤵️

@khash @brexHQ @khash @cpinto thanks for flagging, we're working on a fix for y'all now 🫡

.@AdamStorr is one of the best in the industry. Loads of great insights in this episode!

[Jayneil Dalal @jayneil]

This is how a Head of Design uses Figma comments to give async design feedback

When a design leader sets aside time for asynchronous design feedback, it shows their commitment to elevating the team's craft

@AdamStorr shows how he gives async design feedback to designers at @_hex_tech using @figma comments👇

@usygoosy @brexHQ @tryramp I am biased and they’re both better than any of the other dozens of tools on the market. But only one can scale with a company from 2 to 20,000+ people. Happy to chat more if you have questions!

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

Thrilled to have more winning companies like @AnthropicAI on @brexHQ. Congrats on the new round!

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Anthropic has raised $3.5 billion at a $61.5 billion post-money valuation, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

This will advance our development of AI systems, deepen our understanding of how they work, and fuel our international expansion.

@morganlinton Great to have you on board, Morgan! Curious which Brex features you’re loving most for your team? Dropped you a DM to chat more and see where we can add more value

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

@joshferrufino Mercury is digital banking for startups and small businesses. They have a great product if this is your only need

Brex is built to grow with you. It's an end-to-end spend platform that offers banking, corporate cards, bill pay, travel, and financial software that scales from startup to IPO

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

This is getting out of hand

@nrg91720 @jayparth_ Because Brex was there when SVB collapsed

@collegedrobout didn't know there was this hidden talent!

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

@_anniexue can run a master class in how to co-design with customers and that means our customers not only get insane value, but also love @brexHQ even more. Couldn't be more proud to have her on the Brex Design team!

[annie xue @_anniexue]

When people ask how I pivoted from MPA > product designer, my advice was always:

"I'm not the best accountant or the best designer — but always the best designer amongst accountants, and the best accountant amongst designers."

Found my niche @brexHQ 🧡

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

@emieljanson Thanks, Emiel! There's some more here: https://t.co/fbzUfyonEg

1/4 - In Brex 3.0, we made a bold bet: Design moved to report directly to the CEO, and I joined the leadership team as the Chief Design Officer. This shift ignited a transformation—not just in Design but across Brex.

[Matt Bango @mattbango]

@nlevin Thanks man!!
