# The spring 2025 cohort of Vercel’s Open Source Program

**Published:** May 12, 2025 | **Authors:** Kap Sev | **Category:** Community

Open source runs the world. The frameworks, libraries, and tools we rely on are strengthened by communities that share ideas, review code, and build in the open.

At Vercel, we want to help those communities thrive. That’s why we launched the [**Vercel Open Source Program**](https://vercel.com/docs/open-source-program): a developer initiative that gives maintainers the resources, credits, and support they need to ship faster and scale confidently.

Four times a year, we’ll welcome a new cohort of projects into the program. Members receive $3,600 in Vercel credits, perks from partners, and a dedicated Slack space to learn from one another.

Today we are announcing this spring's cohort.

Vecto3d converts your SVGs into 3D models. Since its launch, the project has gotten over 40K site visits and over 1,000 stars on GitHub. Unlike other SVG to 3D model converters, Vecto3d doesn’t charge for exporting.
