Ramp, the financial operations platform known for simplifying corporate spend, has acquired Juno, a modern platform designed for managing non-employee travel. The move expands Ramp’s travel capabilities and strengthens its partnerships with Travel Management Companies (TMCs), aiming to serve businesses of all sizes.
“Guest travel is a hard problem. It’s messy, operationally heavy, and has real business consequences,” said Karim Atiyeh, co-founder and CTO of Ramp. “A bad candidate travel experience can cost you a hire. Juno built something strong in a category that matters. Our job now is to give them leverage and stay out of the way.”
Solving the Non-Employee Travel Challenge
While most corporate travel solutions focus on employees, non-employee travelers—candidates, contractors, clients, visiting researchers, and event participants—create operational headaches for companies. These trips are often high-volume, time-sensitive, and historically fall outside core financial and travel management tools.
Juno, founded in December 2024 by Sam Felsenthal, Devon Tivona, and Kate Porter, was built to address these gaps. The platform handles the complexity of guest travel while integrating with TMC partners, enabling seamless booking, tracking, and compliance for trips that can directly impact business outcomes.
According to Tivona, co-CEO of Juno, “These aren’t anonymous business travelers. They’re candidates, customers, partners. The trip is part of the impression. Ramp has the platform, the customers, and the ambition. That’s why we’re here.”
This acquisition builds on Ramp’s strategy of expanding beyond employee-focused finance workflows into broader corporate operations, ensuring that critical touchpoints—like candidate or client travel—are as smooth and efficient as internal processes. Juno’s founders previously built Pana, another guest travel platform acquired by Coupa in 2021, demonstrating a proven track record in this niche market.
By integrating Juno, Ramp aims to simplify logistics, improve traveler experiences, and provide finance teams with visibility into a previously fragmented part of corporate travel. For industries where guest travel impacts hiring, partnerships, and customer satisfaction, this could be a game-changer.
