There is great irony in Ramp's biggest competitor (Brex) selling to Capital One — the company the Ramp founders sold their first company to, and where they decided to launch Ramp to compete with them.

🚨Fintech Acquisition alert🚨 Capital One is buying Brex for $5.15 Billion dollars. In my opinion they are likely not just buying them for revenue but the data into SMB business credit worthiness. Which is a core component for an AI future. Great deal a true win for everyone!
