Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Karim Atiyeh - Building Ramp - [Invest Like the Best, EP.445] · 21 Oct 2025 podcast

It could be an email, it could be a form.

And then you ask yourself, how can I figure out the answer to that question myself without asking the customer?

Or if I'm telling the customer to do X, why can't I do it for them?

So for example, I'm sure you've gotten one of those error messages from a product that you've used that will tell you,

hey, Patrick, you tried to do X, it didn't work.

You might want to try one, retrying the payment or the transaction, two, changing your bank account details or something like this.

Well, instead of doing this, we could retry it ourselves, for example.

And if we are asking you to change your payment

banking details or to submit a piece of information instead of just telling you an email, like go to our website and submit your information.

We could have a form right there that allows you to submit your information in the email.

So there's always a way to skip a step and make it a little bit faster.

We're essentially always obsessing over that.

I really believe that a lot of the results that you are seeing today at Ramp are due to the efforts that we put in in solving the problems six months to a year ago.

So the current quarter was baked in a couple months ago.

So I always find it a little bit weird to celebrate lagging indicators today.

And I don't know, I often think that they put at risk some of the very important work that we are trying to do today and solving the problems that we have today because people might feel like, oh, things are going amazingly well.

We don't really have any problems, and that's not true.

There are always problems and always ways to make things better, faster, more efficient, etc.

Just this element of like, hey, we're working on such important things.
