Mixed (C+) — Round Z Pre-IPO Risk Grade

Brex operates a corporate spend management and corporate card platform focused on the startup/growth-stage segment. 2022 $12.3B valuation has not been refreshed; secondary-market trading suggests material reset to ~$7-8B range. Multiple rounds of layoffs (2023, 2024) reflect repositioning challenges as the startup segment contracted.
