“By the end of 20, 21 again, I think the multiples really hadn't changed too much, but the company ended with an 8.1 billion dollar valuation. And we were coming up to, but hadn't yet crossed a hundred million a year in revenue.”

The claim, plainly

By the end of 2021, Ramp had an $8.1 billion valuation and was nearing, but had not yet crossed, $100 million in annual revenue.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim consists of two core assertions: that Ramp achieved an $8.1 billion valuation around the end of 2021, and that it was nearing, but had not yet crossed, $100 million in annual recurring revenue at that point. Both assertions are corroborated by financing records and financial reporting. Filings show that tranches of the $8.1 billion financing round began on December 30, 2021 (with public announcement following in March 2022 at an $8.1 billion valuation). Revenue records confirm that Ramp approached $100 million ARR by year-end 2021, officially crossing the $100 million ARR mark in late February / March 2022.

Venture financing records show Ramp logged the initial tranche ($198 million) of its new financing round on December 30, 2021, which culminated in the publicly announced $8.1 billion valuation round in March 2022.
Financial tracking and ARR benchmark data confirm Ramp crossed the $100 million ARR threshold on February 25, 2022, meaning it had neared but not yet crossed the milestone as of December 31, 2021.

Opinion

Major credit card companies trick consumers by quietly devaluing reward points.

“I thought that it was crazy that the largest credit card companies on the planet were working really hard to get customers spend a little bit more than they thought. And then once they do, they would work really hard to convince people that the points they got…”

Glyman: Zoning, not manufacturing, is the true bottleneck for modular housing
