How to apply

Gotchas

  • Each perk can be redeemed only once per Brex account and partners may change or withdraw offers.
  • Many perks have their own eligibility (e.g. AWS credits depend on Activate eligibility; GitHub requires outside funding).
  • Brex's own pages describe some perks differently (e.g. Carta and Pulley terms differ between the Day Zero Stack and partner perks pages); check the dashboard.
  • Meeting Brex's published account requirements does not guarantee approval.

About the Brex program

Brex does not run a credits program of its own; its startup value comes from the partner perks attached to a Brex business account and card. Brex groups the founder-focused offers into a 'Day Zero Stack' of discounted tools and reports more than $350,000 of partner value overall. Examples on Brex's Day Zero Stack page include up to $5,000 in AWS credits for all new Brex customers, $1,000 in OpenAI credits for one year, Notion free for up to 6 months including Notion AI, 20% off the first year of Carta, up to 20 free GitHub Enterprise seats for one year plus 50% off Advanced Security, and 30% off Slack Pro or Business+ for 12 months.

To use the perks you need an approved Brex account in good standing. Brex says venture-funded or accelerator-backed companies that meet its cash requirements qualify for a card; the usual minimum is a $50,000 cash balance for funded startups, which can be lower through certain partner referrals; companies without funding or below $50,000 can still apply for a business account with daily payments, and meeting the requirements does not guarantee approval. Each perk may be redeemed only once per account and may carry its own partner requirements and deadlines.

Brex also has accelerator partnerships: a 2022 announcement with Techstars gave Techstars founders a signup bonus, free access to Brex's Pry forecasting tool and dedicated onboarding support, and a 2024 partnership lets Stripe Atlas companies apply for Brex immediately after incorporation.
