Story

Vercel was founded in 2015 by Guillermo Rauch (originally as Zeit). The company's parallel work on the Next.js framework and the Vercel hosting platform has produced one of the dominant front-end ecosystems. By 2026, Next.js is the most-used React framework and Vercel hosts millions of sites — including most of the AI-startup landing-page wave. Vercel's brand — geometric mark, monospace, dark backgrounds — is instantly recognizable.
