$6M+ ARR with All Agents and 1 Employee - Interview with Ben Broca, Founder of Polsia

One person. $5.6M in annual recurring revenue. Nearly five thousand businesses running autonomously — while he sleeps. That's not a future-state thought experiment. That's Ben Broca's company right now.

Polsia (that's AI Slop backwards): "AI That Runs Your Company While You Sleep. Polsia thinks, builds, and markets your projects autonomously. It plans, codes, and promotes your ideas continuously — operating 24/7, adapting to data, and improving itself without human intervention."

And it's making over $6M ARR (as of recording date) with over 5,000 customers and just Ben and his agents running the whole thing.

Ben spent five years reporting directly to Travis Kalanick at CloudKitchens, where he learned what it actually means to operate at scale under relentless pressure. Then he made a different kind of bet: that a single founder, backed by an army of AI agents, could run a real, revenue-generating business — without employees, without a sales team, without the playbook everyone else is following. Polsia is that bet made operational.

The AI evaluates the state of ~4,940 companies, decides what needs to happen, executes it, and reports back — every night, 24/7. Ben makes the strategic calls. That's the entire org chart.

In this conversation, we get into the mechanics of what it actually means to run a company where the operators are AI agents — not assistants, not copilots, but autonomous decision-makers handling bug detection, customer support, growth campaigns, and engineering fixes. We talk about the economics when the marginal cost of labor trends toward zero, what the Kalanick arc taught him about operational intensity, and why the solo-founder-plus-AI model might be the most important business structure of the next decade.

What

you'll learn

• How an autonomous AI operating platform evaluates and executes across nearly 5,000 businesses simultaneously — without a human in the loop

• What it actually looks like to run a company where 10,000+ tasks per day happen while you sleep

• Why the marginal cost of labor trending toward zero changes the unit economics of nearly everything

• The five years Ben spent under Travis Kalanick — and how that operational discipline shaped the Polsia model

• Where the edge of autonomous AI decision-making actually sits: what agents can and can't do without Ben in the loop
