Main difference with Vercel / ZEIT is that unlike Netlify, it can more easily have SSR pages.
So like if you're using NextJS for instance, on Netlify you can only really use the static site generation features of NextJS, whereas with Vercel you have SSR pages as well as the API functions.
Also Vercel _can_ do full standard servers if needed, including for NodeJS https://vercel.com/docs/runtimes#advanced-usage/advanced-nod... or Python https://vercel.com/docs/runtimes#advanced-usage/advanced-pyt...

But Netlify also has cloud functions, no?
If this is just another choice that's good. Perhaps it's faster? I've deployed using zeit and it is a really smooth process but not much different than netlify's build that works with a git push. Either way, congrats on the funding!
Disclaimer: I don't work for netlify, though I did interview with them awhile back.
