Bloomberg, Cornell Tech, and Tech:NYC invite you to join us for the latest in-person installment of the Cornell Tech @ Bloomberg Speaker Series, featuring Eric Glyman, Co-founder & CEO of Ramp, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Quicktake.
Ramp is Glyman’s second startup, which he launched in 2019 after his first, the price tracking app Paribus, was acquired by Capital One. He founded Ramp to help finance leaders conserve their organizations’ most valuable assets: time and money. The company is both a corporate credit card provider and a finance automation platform with a counterintuitive model designed to help businesses spend less. For small businesses and large enterprises alike, Ramp tracks expense and accounting activity to help finance teams make smarter decisions via intelligent, real-time data and to automate laborious tasks and free up their time to focus on meaningful work.
In combining the utility of a corporate card with the efficiency of software, Ramp replaces traditional points and rewards programs, and has saved its customers more than $400 million and 5.8 million hours of operations and audit time to date. Earlier this year, in response to the failure of SVB, the company stepped up to offer payment deferrals, stable spend limits, and expedited access to its flex payment program to enable its customers to meet their short-term liquidity needs.
Just four years old, Ramp is experiencing skyrocketing growth. The company has raised $1.4 billion in venture backing to date and, in 2022, Ramp’s revenue closed at 4x its prior year’s revenue, solidifying its position as the fastest growing corporate card and bill payment software solution across the industry.
We hope you’ll join us for this conversation, in which Glyman will discuss why cash flow management will be key for startups in 2023, the lessons for founders following recent bank failures, how to use AI as a customer-centric tool, and how the future of finance will reshape the overall economy.

Speaker
Eric Glyman
Eric Glyman is the co-founder and CEO of Ramp, a finance automation platform designed to help companies save time and money. He started Ramp in 2019 after observing that much of the traditional financial services industry offered points and rewards programs that were misaligned with customers’ goals. Eric and his co-founders sought to build products that would help companies and their employees save time and money. Today, Ramp is the fastest growing corporate card and bill payment software in America, and comes standard with best-in-class integrated expense management, reimbursement, accounting automations, and more.
As CEO, Eric is focused on helping companies grow into better, more profitable versions of themselves, through finance automation that maximizes the output of every dollar and hour. Customers cut their expenses by 3.5% per year, and close their books 8x faster by switching to the Ramp platform. Under Eric’s leadership, Ramp has raised more than $1 billion in financing, following 4x year-over-year growth in 2022. The company was most recently valued at $8.1 billion.
Prior to Ramp, Eric co-founded Paribus, a price-tracking app to help consumers save money on their everyday online purchases. Paribus was acquired by Capital One where Eric then led the savings automation team. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Eric now lives in New York City, where he is an active angel investor.
