Ramp secures $750 million in funding to help businesses automate their financial operations


Ramp, the finance automation platform and first corporate card designed to help businesses spend less, today announced $750 million in new financing. The raise included $200 million in fresh equity funding led by Founders Fund, with participation from all major existing investors including D1 Capital Partners, Thrive Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Coatue Management, Iconiq, Altimeter, Stripe, Lux Capital, Vista Public Strategies, Spark Capital, and Definition Capital. They were joined by new investors General Catalyst, Avenir Growth Capital, 137 Ventures, and Declaration Partners, in addition to tech industry leaders. Ramp also secured $550 million in debt financing to support the company’s rapid scaling, including $300 million from Citi and an additional $150 million from Goldman Sachs, which doubled its commitment to $300 million.
Ramp enables a broad range of customers and industries, from fast-growing startups to multi-billion dollar enterprises and multi-generational potato farmers, to manage their spend and build sustainable businesses. With more than 5,000 businesses on the platform, Ramp saw its revenue grow by nearly 10x in 2021 and is powering over $5 billion of annualized payments volume. Ramp also continued to enhance its platform with the launch of B2B payments tool Bill Pay, its fastest-growing solution to date, integration of Buyer to deliver negotiation-as-a-service, and launch of Ramp for Travel.
“We are pursuing an extraordinary opportunity to overhaul an industry that historically has been misaligned and out-of-touch with the needs of its customers,” said Eric Glyman, co-founder & CEO, Ramp. “Since day one Ramp has been designed to save our customers time and money, which is fueling our rapid growth. We’ve delivered over $135 million in savings for our customers to date. We’re helping companies close their books in eight hours instead of the industry median of eight days – freeing up 3.5 million hours of manual work. None of our competitors can say the same. With this funding, we will continue to help even more businesses manage their money easier, faster, and smarter.”
Customers use Ramp as their primary spend management solution to fully automate non-payroll spend and streamline their financial operations, from business expenses to travel management, procurement, bill payments, and more. The additional funding will accelerate Ramp’s development of its finance automation platform, following its recent release of a travel product and features that fully automate expense management.
Ramp has now raised over $1 billion in financing since its founding in March 2019.
"One of our core differentiators at Founders Fund is the willingness to double, triple, quadruple down when a company is executing at the highest levels," said Keith Rabois, General Partner, Founders Fund. "Especially in volatile times like today, top-tier CFOs are looking to get the most out of every dollar and hour, and Ramp is the best tool on the market to enable that. They've also successfully transitioned from a single-product company to a finance automation platform. This second act has massive potential for upside. Ramp is freeing finance teams from outdated processes and enabling them to focus on not just funding growth, but accelerating it."
To support the strong product and customer growth, Ramp has quadrupled its workforce over the past year, and will open a new office in emerging tech hub Miami later this year. Ramp also recently announced a collaboration with Amazon Business to streamline business purchasing through Ramp’s receipt-matching integration and both companies’ spend controls. This follows the introduction of Ramp for Travel in partnership with Lyft, WeWork and other leading travel providers.

“Ramp had everything we were looking for, and even things we weren't looking for. The policy aspects, that's something I never even dreamed of that a purchasing card program could handle.”

“Switching from Brex to Ramp wasn’t just a platform swap—it was a strategic upgrade that aligned with our mission to be agile, efficient, and financially savvy.”

“With Ramp, everything lives in one place. You can click into a vendor and see every transaction, invoice, and contract. That didn’t exist in Zip. It’s made approvals much faster because decision-makers aren’t chasing down information—they have it all at their fingertips.”
Ryan Williams
Manager, Contract and Vendor Management, Advisor360°

“The ability to create flexible parameters, such as allowing bookings up to 25% above market rate, has been really good for us. Plus, having all the information within the same platform is really valuable.”

“More vendors are allowing for discounts now, because they’re seeing the quick payment. That started with Ramp—getting everyone paid on time. We’ll get a 1-2% discount for paying early. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, it does add up.”
James Hardy
CFO, SAM Construction Group

“We’ve simplified our workflows while improving accuracy, and we are faster in closing with the help of automation. We could not have achieved this without the solutions Ramp brought to the table.”

“I was shocked at how easy it was to set up Ramp and get our end users to adopt it. Our prior procurement platform took six months to implement, and it was a lot of labor. Ramp was so easy it was almost scary.”
