Gotchas
- The $350K+ figure is a sum of partner offers you are unlikely to use all of; each reward has separate eligibility.
- Rewards are only visible to Ramp users; there is no way to claim them without an approved account.
- Several rewards are new-customer only at the partner (e.g. Carta's 20% is for new Carta customers holding a Ramp card).
- APY and yield figures are promotional and carry footnoted conditions on Ramp's site.
About the Ramp program
Ramp for Startups is Ramp's package for venture-backed and accelerator-backed companies: a corporate card and spend platform, a business account advertising 2% APY on operating cash (up to 4.61% YTM when paired with an investment account), and access to $350K+ in partner perks through the Partner Rewards program. Ramp partners with VCs, accelerators and founder communities; if your accelerator is a Ramp partner you may already be pre-qualified for an account.
The perks are credits and discounts from third parties. Ramp's reward pages list, for example, 3 months of Gusto free, $25,000 in fee-free Stripe processing, up to $40,000 in Amplitude credits, $50,000 in Segment credits, OpenAI API credits, 6 months of Notion Business with AI, 6 months of Zendesk Suite and Sales CRM, 6 months of Linear Business, Carta at 20% off the first year with waived implementation fees, up to 40% off Sprinto SOC 2 for startups under 25 people, and legal perks from Vouch worth up to $35,000 per year. Only Ramp users can access rewards, via Company (or Insights) > Rewards > Offers in the dashboard.
For VC and accelerator partners Ramp offers a sign-on bonus when a portfolio company applies, scaled platform pricing for portfolio companies and a dedicated underwriting team. Ramp does not publish how the $350K figure is calculated, and each partner reward has its own eligibility and expiry.
