Ramp is worth $60bn and 70% of its R&D team is working on products it hasn't released yet.

I sat down with @eglyman in New York to discus

Why he thinks of @tryramp as a productivity company more than fintech

The 7,000 pull requests their non-engineers wrote last quarter

The trust charter, stablecoins, and whether an AI agent would choose your business.

Full conversation 👇

00:00 Introduction
03:16 Is fintech dead? And why Ramp considers itself a productivity company
04:41 Why AI token costs are turning software into financial products
07:27 How Ramp's Inspect lets non engineers ship code using AI
11:51 Why AI is becoming the third major category of business spend
18:43 What justifies Ramp's valuation and its accelerating revenue growth
27:07 How AI is transforming employee productivity and customer support workflows
39:54 Why Ramp applied for an OCC national trust bank charter
43:15 How stablecoins enable faster cross border payments and protection against currency volatility
47:23 Will autonomous AI agents replace Ramp or choose its financial infrastructure?
51:01 The future of agentic companies and Ramp's mission to eliminate waste

Don't block agents. Identify them.

@sytaylor is joined by @patk , founder and CEO @proof

Pat Kinsel has built an open framework to identify agents that is compatible with how banks do KYC today.

It's called x401, built on the internet's HTTP 401 "authorization is required"
But the really clever bit is the fact that it then uses verifiable credentials that are IAL2 certified to prove the authentication for the underlying human.

Why's that clever?
Because that's the same standard the US government published under the National Institute of Science and Technology NIST, and the one that FinCEN recently gave guidance on as being usable in bank Customer Identification Programs (CIP).
