Vercel achieves $3.25B valuation in Accel-led Series E funding round, continuing to serve as the leading platform for building the web’s best products

Vercel, the leading Frontend Cloud platform, announced that it has secured $250M in Series E funding at a valuation of $3.25B. The investment round was spearheaded by existing investor Accel, with participation from other existing investors including CRV, GV, Notable Capital (previously GGV Capital), Bedrock, Geodesic Capital, Tiger Global, 8VC, and SV Angel.

Vercel has won over developers and enterprises by automating infrastructure, enabling companies like Under Armour, Unity, Sonos, and Nintendo to focus on the application layer and user experience. With strong momentum behind its Frontend Cloud platform, Vercel recently surpassed $100M in annualized revenue. Vercel’s Next.js technology, with over 1 million monthly active developers, powers the world’s largest web applications—positioning itself at the forefront of the Generative AI revolution.

This new funding will help Vercel deliver the combined power of its Frontend Cloud, AI, and enterprise-grade security to every developer, user, and company. With AI transforming the way developers build and deliver software, Vercel will invest in further building v0, its groundbreaking Generative UI product that makes product creation as simple as describing ideas via prompts. Additionally, the company will invest in its Vercel AI SDK, providing developers and teams with a comprehensive framework for building AI applications and products.
