Founded in 2015 by Guillermo Rauch in San Francisco, Vercel was originally known as ZEIT before rebranding. The company created Next.js, the world's most popular React framework, which has been adopted by companies including TikTok, Twitch, and Netflix. Vercel's platform allows frontend teams to deploy production websites in seconds by simply pushing to Git, with automatic preview deployments for every pull request and a global edge network that serves pages from locations closest to the user. The company raised a $150 million Series D at a $2.5 billion valuation in 2022 and continues to grow rapidly as Next.js has become the default way to build web applications. Over 1 million developers use Vercel every month.
