Today marks 5 years since Ramp began. Reflecting on the journey so far, I wish I’d captured more of those early, chaotic moments that set the foundation for our growth. But I’ll probably look back one day and realize that today was still very early, so it’s a good time to start. Here’s where we came from and the long road ahead… 1. Early chaos In 2019-2020, Ramp was a heat-seeking missile focused on insanely rapid development and gathering a team of ambitious overachievers. We started in living rooms turned into makeshift offices before transitioning to a more permanent space, complete with the quirks of startup life, including free furniture and unexpected visits from NYC fauna. Our public launch was February 2020, on the eve of a global pandemic — an incredibly chaotic time for a company built on business spending. We immediately shifted to remote work and found solace in virtual team bonding. This period tested our resilience but also showed us the special connection we had with our early customers, who believed in our vision and were thankful for our support through dark moments for their own businesses. 2. Growth amid uncertainty Miraculously, in retrospect, we grew during the lockdowns. Despite the odds, we meticulously reviewed every single application and put in the hours to make sure every customer had a stellar onboarding experience. Following the Explosive growth of our customer base, our team grew 3x by the end of 2020, many of whom embraced our culture without having seen our office. Five years later, Ramp stands at 700+ strong, serving a wide range of 25k+ clients from potato farmers to space factories and coffee-roasting monks. It’s a testament to the hard work of our team and our ability to level up finance teams and remove busywork for our customers. 3. Looking to the future Today, Ramp is becoming the solution of choice for the most ambitious and fastest-growing companies — yet, we still represent a tiny percentage of total B2B spend. That’s a good thing and confirms what all of us can feel instinctively: we still have a LOT more room to grow. One thing that hasn’t changed in five years is our appetite for a challenge. I’m fired up for the untapped opportunity and excited to tackle it with the most talented team in the world. It still feels like day 0. As we celebrate today, I'm grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey, from employees to alumni to investors to customers. And I can’t wait to share a lot more of what we’ve been working on at Ramp. Here's to the next five years!
