Ramp raises $750M at $44B — tripling its valuation in 15 months on $1.5B+ run-rate revenue
Ramp closed a $750M Series F at $44B — up from $13B in March 2025 — led by ICONIQ, GIC, and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, with run-rate revenue now exceeding $1.5B and the company at positive free cash flow. The AI token spend management angle is new territory: with Brex absorbed by Capital One and Rippling bundling HR alongside spend, Ramp is positioning as the standalone platform for companies trying to control rising AI service costs.
