Finance teams waste hours chasing receipts and answering weird policy questions. Now they don’t have to. Introducing our first @tryramp AI agents. Upload your company policy and put the bullshit work on autopilot so your finance team can actually do finance.
My entire life in politics people have tried to divide Jews and Muslims for cynical purposes. Can't overstate how powerful this solidarity was in obliterating that bullshit.
Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @ZohranKMamdani.

.@danpfeiffer gave me the best political advice anyone ever has. Obama won because he was prepared to lose. You have to stand for something. Zohran stood for his values and something new, and he inspired many!
What's happening in NYC is a blaringly loud message to those in the Dem establishment who still cling to old politics, recite focus-grouped talking points, and are too afraid to say what needs to be said. We have a lot to learn from @ZohranKMamdani and his campaign.

I've known @eglyman and @karimatiyeh since college and through their early Paribus days, and they have never ceased to impress me; world class execution. Today, @tryramp is a $16B company. Proud to have @Lux_Capital along for the ride--the best is yet to come!
Today, @tryramp reached a new valuation: $16 billion Let the robots chase your receipts and close your books, so you can use your brain and build things. That's the way AI was meant to be.
