New York-based Ramp has raised $750M in Series F funding at a $44B valuation, nearly tripling its valuation from just 12 months ago 🚀

The round was led by ICONIQ, GIC, and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, with participation from investors including Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Insight Partners, Founders Fund, Lightspeed, General Catalyst, Thrive Capital, Coatue, and Khosla Ventures.

Founded in 2019 by Harvard classmates Eric Glyman and Karim Atiyeh, alongside longtime collaborator Gene Lee, Ramp started as a corporate card designed to help businesses spend less. Today, it has grown into one of America’s fastest-growing finance platforms, supporting more than 70,000 customers and surpassing $1.5B in annualised revenue run rate 📈

Ramp now spans corporate cards, bill payments, procurement, travel, treasury management, accounting automation, and AI-powered finance tools — including spend management for AI token usage.

As finance teams continue to modernise how they manage costs, workflows, and automation, Ramp’s growth highlights the scale of opportunity in the next generation of business finance infrastructure 🌐

Congratulations to the Ramp team and investors on this major milestone 🙌🏼

San Francisco-based Mirendil has raised $200M in seed funding at a $1B valuation, marking one of the largest seed rounds in AI history 🚀

Founded by former Anthropic researchers Behnam Neyshabur and Harsh Mehta, Mirendil is building AI systems designed to help automate AI research itself — from experimental design and model evaluation to iterative training and engineering problem-solving.

The company’s aim is to make frontier AI research more accessible to universities, research institutions, hospitals, and enterprises that may not have the same infrastructure or specialist teams as the world’s largest AI labs 🤖

While Mirendil has yet to launch a product, its early backing reflects strong investor confidence in the next wave of AI infrastructure — where AI could help accelerate the research and development process behind future models.

With a team that includes talent from Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI, Mirendil is positioning itself at the centre of one of AI’s biggest opportunities: building tools that help create better AI.

Congratulations to the Mirendil team and investors on this major milestone 🙌🏼
