Pedro Franceschi

Title: Co-Founder and CEO Company: Brex
Pedro gained notoriety at just 13 years old when he became the first person to jailbreak the iPhone 3G after teaching himself to code. Only two years later, Pedro founded his first start-up, which he sold for enough to set him up for life. Instead, he founded Brex, pitching it as a corporate credit card for start-ups, which has since grown into a unified finance platform – a second act which turned Pedro into the world’ s youngest self-made billionaire in 2022. fintechmagazine. com 61
