Startup founders: How did you choose your co-founder? Jumpstart Finance founder and CEO Fabiano Rocha shares why it’s one of the most critical decisions you can make—and it’s OK not to rush it. “My biggest mistake was thinking I needed co-founders without knowing exactly why. A co-founder should always add massive value to the business; if not, it’s better to keep going solo until the right person comes along.” Want more tips for building and growing your startup?

Brex went back to school last week! 📚 We had the incredible opportunity to participate in Grant Avenue Elementary's career day in the South Bronx, so Brex team members James Holodnak and Ilias B. visited the 4th & 5th graders of PS 449 to talk problem-solving, the nature of sales, and how companies use our product. From breaking down what sales really are to a fun “sell me this pen” challenge, these students brought curiosity, energy, and some serious skills to what turned out to be a very rewarding day. And who knows—we could be recruiting them in the future to join our team!
