“True partnership requires skin in the game. That’s why I invested in Ramp. I saw firsthand how they’re powering American businesses to cut costs and achieve a higher level of performance. That’s the kind of impact I want to be part of.”
_{– Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles Running Back}

Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles’ star running back, initiated the connection with Ramp. After reading Peter Thiel’s book “Zero to One,” Barkley developed a keen interest in high-growth startups that disrupt industries.When he received strong recommendations about Ramp through mutual investor connections, he saw an opportunity that aligned with his business interests.

Barkley approached Ramp with a desire for more than a traditional endorsement deal. He wanted to be deeply involved with a company that shared his values and drive for excellence. This led to Barkley making his largest private technology investment to date in Ramp.

The partnership between Barkley and Ramp is built on a shared commitment to long-term value creation. Ramp’s CEO, Eric Glyman, drew parallels between Barkley’s team-first approach on the field and Ramp’s customer-centric business model. Both prioritize long-term success over short-term gains.

In true Ramp fashion, the company and Barkley pulled together their first Super Bowl ad in less than a week.
