More than 10,000 businesses have signed up for spend management platform Ramp over the past year. That growth helped quadruple Ramp’s annualized revenue, which topped $300 million in 2023. Strong demand also positioned Ramp to close a $300 million Series D round in August 2023, at a time when many startups were fighting for survival. Business customers are drawn to Ramp for its clever AI integrations and clear-eyed focus on saving finance teams time and money.

Fintech Ramp acquires another AI-powered startup

The acquisition makes sense considering that last summer, Ramp announced that it was entering the procurement space as it focused more on “complex” enterprises. “Our plans are to grow this segment and serve more businesses with simple software that transforms a clunky, slow, and painful process into an efficient and organized one,” Glyman said. “This way, we’re enabling customers to put money movement at the center of their decision-making and helping them build stronger, more sustainable businesses for the long-term.” Today, Ramp claims to power over $10 billion in accounts payable spend each year, a 10x increase in just over two years, execs say.

These 20-something entrepreneurs needed less than a year to sell their company to Ramp

Since the sale, TK Kong, Young Kim, and Kevin Chan have joined Ramp as part of its procurement team. Kong, who leads the unit, has spent the months since the acquisition building out Venue, which is part of Ramp Plus. Improvements to Ramp Plus include purchase order enhancements, collaboration tools, and an activity feed. For Ramp, Venue was the company’s third acquisition and its fastest deal. “This is one of our larger new bets, and we see it growing very materially over the next two years,” Glyman said. “Great companies are bought, not sold.”

Ramp taps AI as fintech hunts for growth

Ramp says its plug-in with Copilot for Microsoft 365 means businesses don’t have to bounce between multiple tools and applications to gather spend insights or set up advanced controls. “Now they can use natural language to access Ramp’s smart AI assistant from their workspace and get the most advanced work done faster,” said Ramp CEO and co-founder Eric Glyman.

Corporate card startup Ramp integrates with Microsoft Teams and 365 Copilot

Now, employees who use the Microsoft messaging app, even on mobile, can find expense-related information right at their fingertips and have their questions answered by a knowledgable AI assistant. The Ramp integration in Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot also includes interactive actions, such as approvals, that Ramp customer administrators can set up. That way, if an employee asks for approval on an expense, the Ramp bot can verify that the expense is in line with the company’s policy and approve it right within Teams. “When the chance appeared to integrate into the Copilot ecosystem, we were really excited because we saw this as a very intuitive way to not just do things effortlessly, but to extend Ramp’s capabilities…to where people work,” CEO Eric Glyman told VentureBeat.

Finance Platform Ramp Raises Funds at $5.8 Billion Value

Ramp has surpassed $300 million in annualized revenue, a metric that multiplies the current month’s revenue 12 times, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Eric Glyman said in an interview with Bloomberg News. Ramp’s pitch to customers is that their incentives are aligned. The firm, which offers a corporate card, says that it helps customers reduce spending, unlike some credit card businesses. The company recently expanded into procurement software with Ramp Plus. It also acquired Cohere.io, an AI-powered customer support business. Microsoft Corp. CEO Satya Nadella was announced as an investor and adviser. There is still plenty of room for growth because the total addressable market Ramp’s chasing is large, due to the large number of companies with finance departments, Glyman said. We have “99% of the market left to go,” he added.

That’s why we’re seeing industry-leading growth, with the majority of Ramp’s enterprise and midmarket customers in the last 6 months coming from AmEx, Bill, Concur, or Expensify.”

Fintech Ramp Launches Money Saving AI Tools For Businesses—Announces Microsoft CEO, More As Investors

"For many people going to [software-as-a-service] vendors, it's very hard these days to know that you're getting a great price," Ramp cofounder and CEO Eric Glyman tells Forbes of the company's new AI-powered contract analysis tool. "Often your only resort is to go to a pricing page that may not tell you anything, or ask around." With GPT-4, Ramp can take vendor contracts that businesses upload and automatically pull out details such as pricing and software seats. The service then compares the pricing against anonymized data from the close to $1 billion some 15,000 companies spend on Ramp each month to show how the quoted price compares to market averages on a graph—and say whether it's a good deal. If it's not, Ramp can then go back to vendors and negotiate prices, using their data as leverage...Glyman says he believes Ramp is the first company bringing large-scale pricing data to consumers.
