The read

Vercel is investing heavily in its startup GTM motion, bringing in three VP-level hires focused on growth and startups alongside a director for APAC majors. The company added 40 people in 90 days (net +30), with engineering leading headcount at 315. Outbound talent flowed to Cursor, Salesforce, and smaller platforms, while inbound hires came primarily from Dagster Labs (7) and Stripe. Internal promotions formalized technical-staff career paths across engineering and design roles.
