Who actually makes buying decisions at Vercel?
Most purchases start with the functional owner rather than the CEO. Engineering owns platform and developer-tool decisions, security reviews risk, finance confirms budget, legal handles terms, and procurement becomes more formal as contract size rises.
How is Vercel organized as it scales?
Vercel is organized around product, engineering, go-to-market, infrastructure, and operations. The right selling motion is to tie the pitch to one team's operating metric instead of sending a generic founder note.
