Vercel

Vercel was founded in 2015 by Guillermo Rauch as ZEIT and took the name Vercel in April 2020. It is a privately held company headquartered in San Francisco. In September 2025 it raised a $300 million Series F at a $9.3 billion valuation, co-led by Accel and GIC.

It builds a cloud platform for deploying web apps and, as it now puts it, agentic infrastructure for apps and agents. Vercel created and maintains the Next.js framework, and also ships v0, an AI tool that builds web apps from prompts, the AI SDK for JavaScript and TypeScript, an AI Gateway and a CDN with compute and observability products. Its Series F post names Grok, Claude and Cursor as AI products whose frontends use Next.js.

According to Wikipedia, Vercel had about 550 employees in 2025; the company does not publish a headcount on the pages checked. Its careers page lists about 89 openings, with offices or roles in San Francisco, New York City, Austin, London and Berlin, and roles in India and Australia.
