Digital payment technology provider Stripe took part in a $115m financing round yesterday for Ramp, the US-based developer of a corporate charge card designed to control spending.
The funding was raised across two tranches according to The Information: an initial $65m close led by investment firm D1 Capital Partners followed by a $50m tranche led by Stripe.
The round valued Ramp at $1.6bn and included investment bank Goldman Sachs, Coatue Management, Founders Fund, Thrive Capital, Redpoint Ventures, BoxGroup, Neo and Contrary Capital.
Founded in 2019, Ramp offers a corporate charge card with no fees and zero interest that helps businesses control their spending. Its system lets business customers issue and control multiple cards in addition to setting limits on spending for employees.
The company has now raised $320m of total equity and debt financing in total, including $150m in debt financing from investors including Goldman Sachs in February this year.
D1 Capital and Coatue Management co-led a $30m round for Ramp in December 2020 that included Founders Fund and unspecified existing investors.
Ramp had raised $25m from Founders Fund, Coatue, BoxGroup, Conversion Capital, Soma Capital and Backend Capital as well as 50 unnamed individual investors 10 months earlier. Founders Fund, BoxGroup and Coatue had invested $7m in the company in August 2019.
