Today we’re joined by Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel. A cloud platform that has built pioneering technology, including the Next.js framework for React. Their most recent funding round was a $150m Series D at a whopping $2.5b valuation back in 2021, to give you a sense of the size of the company.

This is an exciting episode, as it comes shortly after Guillermo announced that Vercel are partnering with Lemon Squeezy to build the world’s fastest checkout. So naturally, we had to get him on the podcast to discuss how exactly we’re going to achieve this.
