Henrique here from Brex. We just launched a corporate card specially tailored for life sciences companies (https://brex.com/industry/life-sciences), and every time we launch something new we get a lot of questions about how we chose to prioritize this feature or product, so I thought it’d be interesting to share here with the HN community. While I’ve previously posted about launching our initial tech startup card (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17418813), the decision to launch Life Sciences was much different in that we already had two existing products in the market with their own long list of improvements we wanted to make to them.
Here’s my blog post going into much more detail (couldn’t fit it here): https://brex.com/blog/how-we-chose-our-third-vertical.
Would love to get your thoughts and feel free to ask any questions you might have.
Brex is excited to bring you our podcast on startups and founders: The Foundry with Chris Read. The podcast focuses on how leading startups are building the future, and the companies and founders behind this.
Our first two episodes are with the CEO of Birchbox Katia Beauchamp (live) and the CFO of Warby Parker Steve Miller (out next Tuesday). High-points for me were Katia cold-emailing Steve Jobs and how Steve knew Warby was special.
It's now live at https://podcast.brex.com/
There's also an insight tweetstorm of takeaways at https://twitter.com/brexthefoundry/status/1108398158730518528
Keep a lookout for more great content in the future from Brex.
Let us know who you'd like to see and what you need to know!
