Polsia ($4.5M ARR, 1 Employee)
activeOrigin: Ben Broca, February 2026
Polsia launched in February 2026: AI agents run every company function (plan, code, market) 24/7. Solo founder Ben Broca crossed $1M ARR in one month; $4.5M ARR run rate as sole employee. Model: $50/month subscription + 20% revenue cut + 20% ad spend cut. Runs Claude Opus 4.6 as primary reasoning agent (CEO agent). Dave Morin amplified fundraising. Fortune covered it as the 'one-person unicorn' proof.
Usage
The highest-ARR concrete evidence for the 'one-person AI-run company' thesis in 2026. More advanced than Pieter Levels (who still codes himself) — Polsia's founder lets AI run operations.
