Making the Web. Faster.
Rauch announces a $102M Series C round for Vercel, led by existing and new investors.
He describes a vision of a fast, realtime web where friction and latency disappear, and outlines three priorities: build an SDK for the web, lower the barrier to entry, and focus on the end user.
He stresses that platform companies serve two users, the people using the tool and the visitors of what they build, so performance for end users comes first.
