Two of the largest corporate spend platforms in the US have independently named Vast.ai one of their fastest-growing vendors — not based on fundraising announcements or press coverage, but on what companies are actually spending money on.

**[Ramp](https://ramp.com/velocity/top-saas-vendors-on-ramp-march-2026)**, which tracks spend across 50,000+ businesses, named Vast.ai a breakout growth vendor in their March 2026 Velocity report. They categorized us under "Agent hosting" and noted that half the trending vendors on the platform are compute infrastructure providers. Their analysis:

> "AI agent workloads are moving from prototypes to production systems, and the constraint is shifting from 'which model is best' to 'where can I run this reliably.'"

Three months earlier, **[Brex](https://www.brex.com/journal/brex-benchmark-december-2025)** ranked Vast.ai **#11** in their 50 fastest-growing software vendors of 2025, based on transaction data from 35,000+ customers. [Fortune covered the report](https://fortune.com/2025/12/23/as-ai-investors-fret-over-roi-these-startups-attracted-serious-cash-customers-2025/), highlighting Vast.ai as a key infrastructure-layer company drawing real dollars alongside Groq (#12) and Supabase (#23).

That's 85,000+ businesses across two independent platforms telling the same story.

### What's driving the growth

The numbers behind these rankings reflect a shift we've been seeing on our own platform. Over the past twelve months:

- **New signups grew 27x year-over-year.** In February 2026 alone, more than 19,000 new users signed up for Vast.ai — compared to roughly 700 in February 2025.
- **Monthly active paying customers grew 16x**, from under 1,000 to over 14,000.
- **GPU supply scaled to meet demand.** Our marketplace now has nearly 20,000 GPUs across 5,000 machines from over 1,000 independent hosts — up 48% year-over-year.
- **Revenue grew 13x**, crossing seven figures per month for the first time.

This isn't growth driven by a single large customer or a one-time event. It's thousands of teams — researchers, startups, and enterprises — independently discovering that they can get GPU compute faster, cheaper, and with more flexibility on Vast.ai than anywhere else.

### Why corporate spend data matters

Fundraising rounds and press mentions are leading indicators. Corporate spend is a lagging one — it only moves after teams have evaluated, tested, and committed. When Ramp and Brex both flag the same company, it means real budgets are shifting. Not pilot programs. Not free-tier experiments. Paid production workloads.

Ramp's observation that the bottleneck is moving from "which model" to "where do I run it" is exactly the opportunity we built Vast.ai for. The platform is model-agnostic, cloud-agnostic, and contract-free. Teams deploy in seconds and pay by the second. That simplicity compounds — once a team starts, their usage tends to grow.

### What's next

We're investing in the areas that matter most to production teams: reliability, autoscaling, and deeper integrations for agentic workloads. The infrastructure layer for AI is still being built, and we plan to keep earning our position in these rankings month over month.

Thank you to the 100,000+ users who've signed up for Vast.ai, and to the 1,000+ hosts whose GPUs make this marketplace possible.

One more thing: we're also a Ramp customer ourselves. We use Ramp to manage our own corporate spend. Vendor and customer — it's a good sign when the tools you rely on are also relying on you.

Vast.ai Named Among Fastest Growing Vendors by Ramp and Brex


At **Vast.ai**, we believe privacy and security are inextricably woven into our mission to equip customers worldwide with accessible, scalable GPUs. In honor of this commitment, we are pleased to announce that we have achieved **SOC 2 Type II certification** – an independent assurance that with us, your data is secure, reliably available, and continuously protected.

Vast.ai’s Enduring Security Commitment

Earlier this year, our [SOC 2 Type I audit](https://vast.ai/article/vast-ai-achieves-soc-2-type-1-certication) confirmed we have the right internal controls in place to meet trust services criteria for data security, integrity, and privacy. The Type II audit put those controls to the test, evaluating their operational effectiveness over an extended period.

Achieving **SOC 2 Type II certification** is independent validation that the security infrastructure we've built over 6+ years of trusted service continues to meet rigorous [compliance standards](https://vast.ai/article/security-and-compliance-at-vast-ai) in day-to-day execution. This achievement strengthens our ability to support the evolving security needs of enterprises, research institutions, and organizations building on our infrastructure.

Here's a quick look at SOC 2 Type II and what it entails.

### What Is SOC 2 Type II?

System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2\) audits – developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) – protect customer data by rigorously evaluating an organization’s internal controls across security, confidentiality, privacy, and processing integrity benchmarks.

- **Type I** reports provide a control design snapshot at a single point in time.

- **Type II** reports go further, assessing how those controls perform over months of continuous operation – confirming they're both well-designed and consistently implemented.

Achieving both Type I and Type II certifications means your sensitive data is secure, available, and privately stored across all our systems. This establishes a foundation of enduring excellence aligned with rigorous industry standards for all customers, which we can tailor to your unique data security and regulatory compliance needs to scale infrastructure and further reduce risks.

After completing our initial 3-month Type II audit, we’ve launched a standard 12-month cycle to ensure we have no gaps in coverage. This two-phase strategy lets us move fast on improvements, then settle into an annual rhythm of verification. We are now in the 12-month cycle with continuous coverage year round.

### Vast.ai's Secure Cloud Offering

For customers with stricter security and compliance requirements, our [**Secure Cloud**](https://cloud.vast.ai/?secure_cloud=true) offering provides high-security GPU access through our certified datacenter partners. This environment, already backed by stringent operational and security controls, now benefits from the added assurance of a SOC 2 Type II audit across our platform infrastructure.

Our **[Trust Center](https://trust.vast.ai/?utm_source=blog)** offers a deeper look into our controls, compliance stance, FAQs and Subprocessors, and our other compliance certifications provide additional safeguards.

Why This Matters

Earning our **SOC 2 Type II certification** is another step forward in strengthening our foundation of trust and security that our customers rely on every day. It reflects both our adherence to proven industry practices and our ongoing commitment to transparency.

This achievement isn't the end of our compliance journey – it's part of an ongoing initiative. Vast.ai will undergo SOC 2 Type II audits every 12 months to ensure continual coverage.

Additionally, we've requested an [**SOC 3 report**](https://www.aicpa-cima.com/topic/audit-assurance/audit-and-assurance-greater-than-soc-3), which will provide a publicly available summary of our security posture for those who want to review our controls without accessing the full SOC 2 report.

### Our Ongoing Commitment

Achieving the **SOC 2 Type II certification** is a crucial step in our compliance roadmap as we continue to build trustworthy and dependable GPU infrastructure for our users. Alongside other security and [compliance measures](https://vast.ai/compliance) across cloud and AI services, such as our [SOC 2 Type I certification](https://vast.ai/article/vast-ai-achieves-soc-2-type-1-certication) and [Vulnerability Bounty Program](https://vast.ai/article/announcing-the-vast-ai-vulnerability-bounty-program), we are weaving security and trust throughout our platform for every member of our community.

Through this integrated approach, we’re dedicated to protecting the privacy and integrity of the data entrusted to us by developers, researchers, and enterprise teams around the world. We take this responsibility seriously as a distributed peer-to-peer platform powering global compute, and we look forward to sharing future updates as we continue to advance our security and compliance roadmap.
