Episode 039 - Ashley Acosta, Early Brex & Pipe

Ashley is the CEO & Founder of Maca, building the first platform for iterative pricing. She went through hyper-growth as the 7th employee of Brex, the fastest company in B2B history to surpass $100M ARR in 18 months.

She then joined Pipe’s founding team as VP of Revenue to stand up the operations and early go-to-market teams - they issued $1B+ in capital in 10 months and became the fastest fintech to reach a $2B valuation in history.

In this conversation, we talk about:

How “figuring it out” has been a pillar for her career, both in the medical & startup fields
How a culture of taking ownership and wearing many hats contributed to her and Brex’s success
And what she looks for in both founders and potential direct reports, prior to deciding to work with them
