Ramp reportedly raises $1.85B at $60B pre-money, months after launching procurement agents
Ramp raised about $1.85 billion at a $60 billion pre-money valuation, Bloomberg reported, up from $44 billion in June. Forkast frames it as spend software turning into an agent platform. The price is under 40 times the annualized revenue Ramp reported in June.

Two bars. Ramp's valuation was $44 billion in its June round. It rose to a $60 billion pre-money valuation in its latest round, which reportedly raised about $1.85 billion, citing people familiar with the matter.
| Measure | Value | As of | Claim |
|---|---|---|---|
| June round valuation | 44 $ billion | June | 3 |
| Latest round, pre-money | 60 $ billion | Latest round | 1 |
What happened
- Dragoneer Investment Group and Thrive Capital led the round, and Founders Fund also contributed a large check.
- Ramp declined to comment on the reported round, and the investors did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- In April Ramp launched procurement agents that handle vendor sourcing, RFx scoring, intake triage, compliance reviews and renewal tracking.
- Ramp's Q2 2026 release added Ramp Stack for accounting firms, purchasing agents and AI token spend management.
Why it matters
- decision Ramp's model attaches an owner and an approver to each spending agent. Finance teams on the platform have to name both for every one.
- cost Forkast argues the saved purchasing hours move to supervising agents. It leaves open whether that makes the job better or smaller.
- exposure Forkast says the money layer is where liability lands. Ramp's agents pay through Agent Card checkout, the Machine Payments Protocol or x402.
Pre-money of $60 billion against the $44 billion Ramp was valued at in June is a rise of $16 billion, or 36% [18]. The comparison may be loose, since only the new figure is labelled pre-money [1][3]. The new round is also bigger: $1.85 billion is about 2.5 times the $750 million raised in June [23]. Added to the pre-money value, it gives a post-money value of $61.85 billion, so the new money buys roughly 3% of the company [20][21].
The denominator is revenue. Ramp's annualized revenue was past $1.5 billion in June [4], so $60 billion is under 40 times that [19]. June is the latest figure reported. The multiple is calculated on that date and would be lower if revenue has grown since. Customers grew from 50,000 at the start of the year to 70,000 by June, up 40% [8]. That period spans the April agent launch [7], so the growth cannot be divided between cards and agents.
Brex sold to Capital One for $5.15 billion earlier this year [5]. That is a sale price, where Ramp's $60 billion is a financing mark. Ramp's pre-money is about 11.7 times the Brex figure [22].
Forkast's thesis is that corporate cards are still the base while the product line stacked on top now runs on agents [24]. In our view the product record supports that description and the financing record does not yet. The round is Bloomberg's reporting on people familiar with the matter, and no use of funds has been reported, so Forkast itself calls the link between the money and the agent stack an inference from the product line [25].
Ramp describes the offer in its own words as customers "hiring Ramp as an extension of your team to run purchasing end-to-end" [16]. Daniel Craig, Opendoor's senior director of procurement, said: "When you're running 20+ AI tools, all with different billing models, procurement becomes its own full-time job." [15] On Ramp's site, the demo agent holds a $3,600 weekly budget against a $10,000 cap, with five approved merchants, required receipts and human approval for anything over $500 [14].
The savings figures are the efficacy claim. By Ramp's numbers, manual purchasing work falls by 46 hours a month, approvals move three times faster and annual vendor spend drops 16% on average [11]. All three are footnoted to Ramp's own customer data and analysis, and they are median figures that include planned features [12]. Ramp gives no baseline for what the same businesses would have saved with a human buyer or a cheaper tool.
What to watch
- Whether Ramp or its investors confirm the round and say what the money is for.
- Ramp's next disclosed customer count and annualized revenue, which would replace the June $1.5 billion in the multiple.
- Any independent measurement of the 46-hour, 3x and 16% savings claims, or a methodology beyond Ramp's footnote on medians and planned features.
