Guillermo Rauch (born December 10, 1990) is an Argentina-born.[1] American software engineer and entrepreneur. He is known for creating Next.js[2] and as the co-founder of Vercel. Guillermo is a notable technology investor in companies like Scale AI[3], Perplexity[4], Honeycomb[5], and Suno[6].
Career[edit]
Guillermo was born in Lanús, Buenos Aires, Argentina[7]. In his teens, he began teaching people how to use Linux and later developed a passion for JavaScript and web development.
After joining the MooTools core team[8], Guillermo got his first full-time job as a frontend engineer at 18 years old and relocated to San Francisco, CA[9]
Guillermo founded his first company Cloudup in SF which was acquired in 2013[10] by Automattic, the company behind WordPress, to power their editing and site building technology.
Guillermo's involvement in open source projects including Socket.IO[11] and Mongoose inspired subsequent work on tooling and cloud infrastructure, with a focus on developer experience. After leaving Automattic, Guillermo created Next.js and co-founded Vercel in 2015.[12]
Guillermo attributes Vercel's rapid growth in part to its focus on AI[13], and has raised awareness about the emergence of bots "extracting intelligence" from AI applications.[14]
In 2024, Vercel was valued at US$3.25 billion, and announced it had recently exceeded US$100 million in annual revenue.[15]
