Companies that use Vercel for Backend

I noticed that Vercel for Backend attracts a distinctly bimodal customer base. On one end, there are early-stage startups building digital-first products like AI tools, financial platforms, community apps, and SaaS solutions. On the other, there are surprisingly large, established organizations including Yum! Brands with 7,574 employees, Unity with 7,258 employees, and even Malaysia's Ministry of Health with over 10,000 employees. The common thread isn't size but digital ambition: these companies are building web applications, platforms, and customer-facing digital experiences that need to be fast, modern, and scalable.

The majority skew heavily toward early stage. I counted 15 companies explicitly marked as seed, pre-seed, or angel funded, and dozens more in the 2-10 employee range with no disclosed funding. However, the presence of post-IPO companies and large enterprises suggests Vercel appeals to digital transformation initiatives within established organizations, not just greenfield startups.
