Ramp Deepens Investor Bench, Valuation Grows to $13 Billion

Mar 03, 2025, 09:00 ET

NEW YORK, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ramp, the leading financial operations platform, announced that new and existing investors including Stripes, GIC, Avenir Growth, Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, Lux Capital, 137 Ventures, and Definition Capital have purchased $150 million in Ramp secondaries from employees and early investors, most recently valuing the company at $13 billion.

Ramp’s evolution into a comprehensive system of operations for finance teams has driven strong results. Ramp has saved customers $2 billion and 20 million hours to date, and now powers over $55 billion in annualized payment volume across card transactions and bill payments, up from $10 billion in January 2023.

With the support of these investors, Ramp is positioned to accelerate its mission and deliver even more value.

“We’re obsessed with one goal: giving businesses back their time and money,” said Eric Glyman, Co-founder and CEO of Ramp. “Every product we build, every feature we launch, is focused on eliminating financial waste and busywork so companies can run more profitably. AI is fundamentally changing how businesses operate, and we’re ensuring our customers are at the forefront of this transformation.”

Key Milestones (January 2024 – January 2025)
Ramp achieved the following milestones in the past year:

Multi-Product Innovation and Adoption

Financial Momentum

Customer Impact

“Ramp’s ability to execute across multiple product lines while maintaining extraordinary growth and efficiency at scale puts them in an elite class of software businesses, exemplifying Stripes’ focus on truly amazing products and teams that are obsessed with compounding value for customers over time,” says Ken Fox, Founder and Managing Partner at Stripes. “With AI deeply embedded in its roadmap, Ramp is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of automation across the full stack of financial operations.”

Multi-Product Platform for Financial Operations
The average mid-market finance team has 15-20 different tools to run their daily operations. This fragmented approach creates unnecessary complexity and inefficiency, especially as companies grow.

Ramp addresses this challenge by providing a comprehensive financial solution that consolidates various point solutions into a single platform, and is increasingly powering more of the financial tech stack within companies.

“With Ramp, we were able to unlock a lot of our team’s capacity around expense management and redeploy it towards other opportunities,” says Kaustubh Khandelwal, VP of Finance at Poshmark. “As a result, we exceeded our free cash flow goals, achieving it within seven months instead of twelve.”

Since launching with a corporate card in 2019, Ramp has expanded to six distinct product lines, adding expense management, bill payments, procurement, travel booking, and treasury. Three of these product lines were launched in just the last year and nearly half of Ramp customers now use more than one product.

AI-Powered Efficiency for Businesses
AI is transforming software from passive tools into systems that can both think and act. Ramp exemplifies this by operating at the transaction layer – not just suggesting improvements but automatically implementing them. Just as autonomous vehicles are taking transportation from steer-assist to self-driving, Ramp’s AI is enabling the shift from managed financial software to truly autonomous financial operations.

This comes to life for companies in real ways:

“In the next five years, we’ll look back at how companies run their finances today and it will feel as outdated as manual bookkeeping,” said Glyman. “The future of finance isn’t about managing more software – it’s about software that actually gets work done. That’s what we’re driving towards.”

Building the Future of Financial Operations
With over 30,000 customers less than 5 years after launching its first product, Ramp is just getting started. Building on its strong momentum, the company plans to accelerate product development in 2025, with a focus on expanding its AI capabilities and launching new product lines.

“We’re at the start of an unprecedented wave of technological breakthroughs. The companies that will matter most are those turning these advances into tangible value and economic gains,” says Kareem Zaki, Partner at Thrive Capital. “Ramp has been quietly doing this since day one – taking processes that used to take hours and reducing them to seconds, all with the goal of helping businesses run more efficiently and profitably. That’s the kind of practical innovation that creates lasting value.”
