Ramp Raises $750 Million At $40 Billion Valuation With Investor SupportRamp is in talks to raise about $750 million at a pre-money valuation above $40 billion, just months after a string of rapid valuation jumps that saw it reach $32 billion post-money in November 2025 in a $300 million round led by Lightspeed. Earlier in 2025, the corporate spend management startup also raised a $500 million Series E-2 at a $22.5 billion valuation led by Iconiq, following a $200 million Series E at a $16 billion valuation led by Founders Fund. Ramp has been scaling quickly alongside revenue growth, with founder and CEO Eric Glyman saying in November the company had hit $1 billion in annual revenue, as it pushes an AI-heavy product vision where agents handle fraud detection, policy enforcement, and cash management—fueling continued investor demand for the business.
