Summary
Ramp has reportedly raised USD 1.85 billion in a funding round led by Dragoneer Investment Group and Thrive Capital, with Founders Fund also participating. According to Bloomberg, the round values the US-based company at a pre-money valuation of approximately USD 60 billion, meaning the figure excludes the newly raised capital. Ramp declined to comment on the report, and the three investors did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The round is the company's second capital raise in roughly four months. In June 2026, Ramp raised USD 750 million at a USD 44 billion valuation, implying a valuation increase of around 36% since then. Bloomberg first reported in September 2026 that Ramp was in early talks to raise funding at a USD 60 billion valuation. Taken together, the two rounds amount to approximately USD 2.6 billion in new capital.
Founded in 2019, Ramp offers finance-focused products for businesses, including expense reporting, payments processing, and AI-powered fraud detection. The company stated in June 2026 that it was working with 70,000 businesses, compared with 50,000 at the start of the year. Since the June round, Ramp has expanded its use of AI internally. In August 2026, it released a tool that routes tasks to lower-cost AI models where possible, reserving more expensive models for tasks that require them. The company is also considering training its own AI models, which would be a first for Ramp.
The valuation places Ramp well ahead of other corporate spend management startups, a segment that has consolidated in 2026. Brex, previously regarded as Ramp's closest startup competitor, was acquired by Capital One Financial Corp. for USD 5.15 billion earlier in the year. Ramp's reported pre-money valuation is more than 11 times that price, and it continues to raise capital as an independent company.
