Ramp raises $1.85B as it expands beyond finance software

Corporate credit card provider Ramp Business Corp. has raised $1.85 billion in funding to expand its services beyond finance software. Dragoneer led the Series G round, with Thrive Capital, Founders Fund, Sands Capital, and Avenir Growth as co-leads. The deal valued Ramp at $60 billion, following its previous $750 million raise just months ago.

Ramp's flagship product is a cloud service that allows companies to issue corporate credit cards to employees, with access to $350,000 worth of offers from various startups and businesses. Accounting teams can set spending limits for each supplier and product category, while an integrated expense management tool helps workers determine if a purchase is covered by their company's reimbursement policy.

Ramp also competes in over a dozen product categories, including a service to keep cash reserves in a high-yield account and AI agents to process supplier bids for contracts. The company's latest addition, called Glass, enables workers to share chatbot prompts and search business records using natural language queries. Ramp's product development is paying off, with most of its 85,000+ customers using at least two products, and a quarter adopting three or more.

The company's annualized revenue surpassed $2 billion ahead of the funding announcement. CEO Eric Glyman stated that AI will enable the company to complete tasks at a lower cost.

Word Tables: Repeat the Header Row on Every Page

A long table in Word spills onto page two, and from there on the reader sees rows of numbers and names with no column titles above them. They scroll back to page one to check which column is which, or you end up copying the header row by hand and fixing it every time the page break moves.
