Ehsan's Growth Take
Ramp flipped the corporate card model: instead of earning revenue from your spending, they help you spend less. Their AI flagged $100K+ in duplicate SaaS subscriptions for a 200-person company I advise. That is not a rounding error. If Brex is the default for pre-seed, Ramp is the upgrade when you start caring about burn rate.
