Here's to LA Tech Week 2025
Plus, catch the latest findings from the September Brex Benchmark
Happy Tuesday Brex Community,
The September Brex Benchmark points to a new kind of resilience taking shape. Replit’s 85% surge and Vercel’s continued rise show that enterprises aren’t chasing speed for its own sake — they’re building adaptability into their operating DNA. AI-native tools like these collapse iteration cycles, letting teams re-architect products overnight. The winners aren’t moving faster just to ship more; they’re moving faster to recover faster. In a world where disruption is constant, agility has become the new uptime.
The same dynamic shows up in spending across the stack. PagerDuty’s 75% jump underscores that reliability still matters, but the real signal is how storytelling and customer connection are catching up. Adobe spend rose 30% MoM, HubSpot 70% — proof that enterprises are investing in how they explain and adapt, not just how they execute. The playbook is shifting from “build and protect” to “build, tell, and evolve.” The new moat isn’t infrastructure — it’s adaptability.
Growing together, Michael Morgenstern

For marketplaces, fintechs, gaming platforms, and ecommerce merchants, getting paid shouldn’t be slow, expensive, or risky.

Their platform unifies global money movement into one secure layer, eliminating friction and delay for companies that operate at internet speed.
