Eric Glyman is the CEO of Ramp, which he cofounded in March 2019. Prior to Ramp, Glyman cofounded Paribus in 2014, which was acquired by Capital One in 2016. He is also an individual investor.
Glyman cofounded Ramp in March 2019 with Gene Lee and Karim Atiyeh. He and Karim Atiyeh also started Paribus together. Ramp delivers high-limit corporate cards with 1.5% cashback, automated savings, expense management controls and more than $175,000 in sign-up offers. Ramp has raised $1.4 billion in funding.
Glyman cofounded Paribus in 2014 with his college friend, Karim Atiyeh. Paribus was founded to find purchase refunds by leveraging the fact that stores vow to refund customers the difference if their competitors offer the same product for cheaper or if they introduce their own additional discount not long after the initial purchase. Glyman first came up with the idea working at Express as a teenager and watching people miss out on refunds when the price would change days after purchase.
Paribus raised $2.2 million, grew to 700,000 users, and was acquired by Capital One in 2016, just sixteen months after it was founded. The amount of the transaction was undisclosed; however, all twelve employees continued on at Capital One as part of the transaction. Glyman continued as CEO of Paribus and as senior director at Capital One until February 2019.
Glyman graduated from Harvard University in 2012, with an AB in Economics and East Asian Studies. Glyman's cofounder at Paribus and Ramp, Karim Atiyeh, is a friend and fellow Harvard alum. Glyman graduated valedictorian from Green Valley High School in Las Vegas in 2008.
