The Vercel CEO's career summary is just one line.

Translated by GPT

The career details of Vercel’s CEO are just one line.

Guillermo Rauch, the CEO of Vercel, has only Vercel listed in his career details. There are no other experiences or unnecessary elements, just one single line.

Honestly, I think it’s the cleanest resume. If you’re a startup founder, do you really need to show other experiences? Above all, it’s impressive. It exudes confidence.

I believe that such simple records can somewhat curb the excessive focus on credentials in Korea. The societal pressure to get into a good university, study for over four years, and engage in internships while obtaining certifications, participating in hackathons, and learning foreign languages like everyone else.

In reality, this obsession with credentials leads to waste. In just five years, the paradigm of technology changes rapidly, and even labor is disappearing. All these processes to learn non-essential knowledge are unnecessary. Instead, quickly founding a startup, selling it, or acquiring knowledge in various related fields is more beneficial for a founder.

I believe that with the advancement of AI, it’s possible to create big tech companies with a small number of people. However, as the range of choices expands, focus becomes crucial. I think that making a choice to hone one truly important product into a single representative career at one company will eventually shine.
