Larissa Rocha joined Brex in June 2017, two years before it became the hottest startup in Silicon Valley worth $2.6 billion.
"I don't know what happens after 30 years, but I want to be at Brex for as long as we're building this and I will go wherever Brex takes me. It's my baby and we're here for the long term," Rocha told Business Insider.Brex, the credit card for startups, raised $100 million at a $2.6 billion valuation — more than double what it was worth nine months ago
"Henrique and Pedro are definitely a big reason," Rocha said of her decision to come to Brex."They had that very clear vision of wanting to build something that will improve the world, and that really resonated with me. To have the chance to build that from scratch is so much more exciting and nerve wracking but more fun too."Since joining Brex in June 2017, two weeks after graduation, Rocha got to work.
Rocha was heads down building a business development team when they noticed the startups' engineering team wasn't growing quickly enough. So Rocha stepped in and built a recruitment process for front end engineers.
