Vercel CEO email address: how to reach Guillermo Rauch

Rauch publishes his own contact card. His GitHub profile tells readers to install the npm package “rauchg” “to get my contact information” (GitHub), and the card it prints gives rauchg@gmail.com; he republished the package in June 2026 (npm). It is a personal address, so expect a busy inbox. He is most active on X, as @rauchg, with about 918,000 followers.

For Vercel itself, his staff use the company pattern. Vercel staff mostly use {first}.{last}@vercel.com, such as maya.chen@vercel.com for a fictional Maya Chen; some early staff use {first}@vercel.com. A vercel.app address is a customer’s site, and it never sends email.

Before emailing any pattern-based address, run it through a verifier: a bounce hurts deliverability for every later send. All Vercel patterns and official inboxes are on the Vercel email format page.

Career timeline

How Guillermo Rauch built Vercel

Rauch grew up in Lanús, outside Buenos Aires, and learned to program as a child. He never finished high school: he still owes history and Portuguese, he told El Cronista (El Cronista). At about 16 he joined the core team of MooTools, a JavaScript library, and that work led to a job offer: after a spell in Switzerland he moved to San Francisco for his first full-time job, at 18. “Open source really was my path out of Argentina in the end,” he said (First Round).

In 2010 he co-founded LearnBoost, an education startup, as CTO, and wrote Socket.IO, a real-time library, and Mongoose there. Its spin-off Cloudup was bought by Automattic, WordPress’s parent, in 2013, and he worked there before starting ZEIT in November 2015. “Vercel was born out of my frustration in 2015 that while the cloud enabled this seemingly infinite array of possibilities … the pixels on the web weren’t getting significantly better,” he wrote (rauchg.com).

He is also one of Silicon Valley’s busiest angel investors, with stakes in Perplexity and ElevenLabs among roughly a hundred companies he invests in publicly (Forbes Argentina).

Guillermo Rauch’s net worth and age

Forbes estimates Rauch’s net worth at $2.1 billion as of November 10, 2026, and gives his age as 35 (Forbes). He ranked 97th on its 2026 list of America’s richest immigrants; Forbes lists his citizenship as American. Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index doesn’t list him.

The Netanyahu post

On September 29, 2025 Rauch posted a photo with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Enjoyed my discussion with PM Netanyahu on how AI education and literacy will keep our free societies ahead” (X). Some developers responded by saying they would cancel their Vercel accounts and called for a boycott.
