Ramp
Ramp builds corporate card and spend management software that automates expense tracking, bill payment, procurement, and accounting close for finance teams. Founded in 2019 by Eric Glyman and Karim Atiyeh (following their earlier exit with Paribus), Ramp emerged as a challenger to Brex and Divvy, differentiating with a business model built around savings rather than card interchange alone, and has since expanded into travel, bill pay, and AI-driven finance tools, becoming one of the more richly valued private fintech companies in the process. Ramp now processes well over $200B in annualized spend across tens of thousands of businesses, positioning itself against incumbents like American Express and SAP Concur as well as fintech peers Brex and Airbase.
Gig description
