""I try to kind of go and call people up for an hour at a time," he told Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell on-stage during a live recording of the Fortune 500: Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast. "If I can just get their advice on AI or marketing or sales, learn just a little bit, ask them who they've learned a lot from in particular fields and just kind of jump from person to person, that's been very helpful.""
"Before fintech darling Ramp was launching multimillion-dollar Super Bowl ads, disrupting time-consuming expense reports, and notching $1 billion in annualized revenue, cofounder Eric Glyman was seeking out tech's most battled-tested CEOs for some sage business advice. At Fortune's Brainstorm Tech conference last week, the 35-year-old entrepreneur shared that instead of turning to executive coaches for wisdom, he prefers candid one-on-one conversations with fellow entrepreneurs."
Eric Glyman favors candid one-on-one conversations with experienced entrepreneurs to get focused advice on AI, marketing, and sales rather than hiring executive coaches. Ramp launched in 2019 and reached about $1 billion in annualized revenue, a $22.5 billion valuation, and serves over 45,000 customers after multiple funding rounds. Under a hyperspeed strategy, Ramp captures roughly 1.5% of the $2 trillion U.S. corporate and small-business credit card market. Glyman cites Fidji Simo and Satya Nadella as trusted guides, praising Simo's leadership at Instacart and her new role overseeing consumer applications at OpenAI.
