We only hire builders (and we’re on a hiring spree)! Reply with something you've built. I'll read them personally. We’re interviewing the best ones. You’ll be a good fit if you: - work best without permission - default to “how could I automate this” - had weird teenage hobbies - spend your sunday making side projects - have more Claude agents than cousins - shipped something this week - make prototypes, not powerpoints - don’t like hierarchy - are good at games: chess, monopoly, poker - would take dinner with Elon over $100k Good luck, Eric

Tomorrow’s a big day at Ramp — but not everyone’s thrilled about the new CFO.

There are two non-negotiables in accounting: the books must be correct, and they must be ready on time. For decades, companies have satisfied those constraints through an extraordinary amount of manual effort. Highly trained professionals code transactions, re-approve familiar expenses, reconcile mismatches after the fact, and compress all of it into the ritual of month-end close. It works. But it is fundamentally retrospective. Today, Ramp is introducing an Accounting Agent designed around a different premise: what if bookkeeping happened as the business operated, rather than after it? The agent captures, codes, reviews, validates, accrues, and reconciles spend continuously. It learns directly from the people who understand the nuances best, the accounting team itself, and applies that context in real time. At Perplexity, where velocity is part of the company’s identity, this has allowed their team to stop choosing between speed and accuracy. The majority of transactions are now coded automatically while remaining audit-ready, enabling close to start on day one instead of day thirty. What’s been most striking is how the system learns the subtle, company-specific logic that historically lived only in human judgment. As Jim Romano, CFO at Stateside Vodka, described it, the agent is already identifying patterns like when spend belongs in samples rather than travel and entertainment — the kinds of decisions that typically require institutional memory. As he put it, the goal is simple: finance teams should focus on exceptions, not the easy stuff. We’re also seeing the second-order effects emerge quickly. Teams report spending dramatically less time reviewing transactions and substantially more time on planning, analysis, and growth. As one CFO told us, “What used to take hours of manual review now happens automatically. I’m spending nearly all of my time thinking about where the business should go, not retracing where it’s already been.” There is a broader shift underway in accounting. The central question is moving from “what parts of close can be automated?” to “should close even be a discrete event at all?” One belief that increasingly guides our work at Ramp is that information latency inside companies is an invisible tax. When financial truth lags behind operational reality, organizations make slower and often worse decisions. As transaction data becomes inherently digital and systems become capable of learning institutional context, continuous close stops being aspirational and starts becoming inevitable. One thing that surprised us while building this: accounting isn’t constrained by a lack of rules — it’s constrained by how many of those rules are unwritten. Much of financial operations lives in patterns that experienced teams simply know. Seeing software begin to absorb and apply that tacit knowledge has been one of the clearest signals that accounting is entering a new phase. Accounting has always been the record for business reality. Our goal is to help it become something closer to real-time truth. Proud of the team, and grateful to the customers building this alongside us.

It’s day 1905 at Ramp. Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Ramp Travel, a new solution designed to make booking travel and managing travel expenses more intuitive, low-cost, and streamlined. Today, 1 in 5 (20%) dollars spent on Ramp cards go towards flights, hotels, and other trip-related entertainment - double the 10% of just a few years ago. Companies are hungry for travel as a means of uncovering new growth, but are hamstrung by outdated, expensive tools that employees hate, or consumer booking sites that might be cheaper and easier to use, but lack controls to enforce travel policies. Either way, hours are wasted at the end each month on manual expense reports and cumbersome reconciliations. But, these tradeoffs don’t need to exist. Companies deserve total control over their travel spend without being saddled with fees. And their employees deserve a delightful booking experience without the additional work. We’re excited to deliver on this vision with Ramp Travel. Our mission has always been to help companies spend less money and time, and this launch is a significant step towards that goal. Employees can book flights and hotels directly through Ramp, with real-time visibility into what’s in-policy and dynamically adjusted rates based on travel destinations. On the trip, Ramp AI handles the rest. On the ground, the quality of life improvement for employees is substantial. Receipts are automatically assigned to trips, and all expenses are seamlessly integrated into our platform. Put more simply, on other platforms, you have to do your expenses as you go (or 1-3 months later); on Ramp, your expenses do themselves. As the saying goes, “your margin is our opportunity.” We are not a travel company and aren’t in this to take price, we’re a savings company and are in this to deliver value, control, and a better experience. Our new partnership with priceline allows us to offer our customers access to a global selection of inventory from major airline partners and hotel affiliates at competitive rates, while maintaining the high level of control and visibility that Ramp is known for. Rather than ratcheting up the price through hidden fees, all savings are passed directly to our customers. We’re excited to see how Ramp Travel helps businesses streamline their travel processes, save money, and enhance the overall travel experience for their employees. As always, we love feedback, so try it out and let us know what you think.

Excited 🫠 to announce our newest product: the Ramp Fax Agent. You can now submit receipts and memos for your transactions entirely through your fax machine. AI-powered. Enterprise-grade. Autonomous. We built Ramp to meet customers where they are. For some of you, that's 1997.

Hiring at Ramp is about finding people with high potential, even if rough around the edges. We look for unconventional — immigrants, athletes, dropouts, people who paid for college by modding Minecraft. The ones others might miss. Here's how. I hope this helps other builders

Give it 1 year, Wouter Teunissen has a shot to be the go-to deep interview on modern company builders. To prep he wrote a 40 page book on Ramp & flew 3000 miles to film. Obsession pays. Hope you find it useful, he goes deeper than any interview yet on how we got here.

When we first met Saquon Barkley, he wasn’t looking for just another brand deal—he wanted true skin in the game. He’d read Zero to One, thought deeply about the partnership and saw the long-term vision. Now, as Ramp grows we grow together. Amazing to hear him share it on TODAY

“Investors were most excited when they saw that over half of every dollar that Ramp puts into payroll goes into R&D. That's just really different. It's what drives the experience where customers today feel that every year they use Ramp it's getting dramatically better. It took us 4 years to save our customers a billion dollars, automate 10M hours of work. We did what took us 4 years earlier in the company within 1, and so it's accelerating.” Thank you Kate Rooney for the in-depth conversation on Ramp
