Use Ramp’s $500 million Series E-2 funding news moment to highlight its future growth trajectory as an AI leader in finance

Business Impact

Ramp’s funding announcement garnered 27 hits and 12 newsletter mentions across top tier media, shining a light on both the company’s AI strengths and its AI-driven growth potential. Media coverage was anchored by an exclusive in The Wall Street Journal, written by an AI reporter who met Ramp’s CEO in an introductory chat only a month before. Additional highlights in media coverage secured by the team included Reuters, TechCrunch, Crunchbase, and Axios.

Social media engagement was also strong, with Grok’s 5.7 million follower account listing Ramp as the top NY-based unicorn by valuation. The announcement sparked discussion across X and LinkedIn from industry leaders and investors. Key social mentions came from high-profile accounts including Techmeme (422K followers), Patrick O’Shaughnessy (287K), and Simon Taylor (102K on LinkedIn).

The media reception positioned Ramp’s new valuation as a vote of confidence in its ability to lead in AI and execute its vision of a new era for finance. Beyond a funding round, the WSJ exclusive and subsequent news cycle represented the culmination of a nearly two-year effort from SBS to elevate Ramp’s media narrative from fintech startup to AI power player.
