Rex wins the Vercel AI Accelerator

Last week, Guillermo Rauch (Vercel CEO) and a group of AI leaders selected Rex as the winner of the Vercel AI Accelerator Demo Day. 2,500 teams applied. 40 teams in the batch. Judges included founders and AI leaders from Vercel, OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Browserbase, and Product Hunt — and chose us at the end of it.

The Accelerator is a six-week sprint to build the next generation of AI-native companies, with access to credits, infrastructure, and the people building the underlying models and tools. We used the time to iterate on the next version of Rex - the agentic finance operations platform end to end.

Six weeks is a useful constraint. It forces you to cut anything that isn't on the critical path, but it's long enough to make meaningful progress.

One of the most pivotal moments for us came out of a chat with Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw. Peter highlighted the opportunity in applying OpenClaw principles to enterprise environments. Self-running, large scale systems that can accumulate memory and operate in customizable environments. This is exactly what it takes to automate operational finance in the enterprise.

Thank you to the Vercel team, the judges, and the other teams in the cohort. If you're considering applying to the next cohort, send us a message.

We're excited to now be a part of the Vercel family.
