Ramp, a corporate spending management platform, secured $750 million in funding at a $44 billion valuation. The round was led by Iconiq, Singapore's GIC, and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP).

The funding brings Ramp's total capital raised to $3 billion, reflecting strong investor confidence in the spend management sector. The platform helps companies manage corporate expenses, vendor payments, and employee spending through a unified system. The latest round includes participation from major institutional investors, signaling growing interest in enterprise financial infrastructure. Ramp competes in a market that has seen significant consolidation and growth as businesses increasingly digitize their financial operations. The $44 billion valuation places Ramp among the most valuable venture-backed companies in the fintech sector, despite macroeconomic headwinds affecting startup funding. The platform has expanded its product offerings and customer base since its 2019 launch, targeting mid-market and enterprise customers seeking streamlined expense management solutions.
