He didn’t just build a startup.

He built an AI that builds startups.

In this episode of The Next New Thing, Andrew Warner interviews Ben Cera, creator of Polsia — a platform where autonomous agents build, market, and operate companies with minimal human involvement.

Polsia sets up the infrastructure (server, database, email, GitHub), builds the MVP, runs Meta ads, sends cold emails, posts on Twitter, answers support, and even iterates on product decisions.

Ben is a solo founder. Zero employees.

And Polsia is already showing a ~$600K+ run rate across subscriptions, tasks, ad usage, and revenue share — just weeks after launch.

But here’s the surprising part:

Most of the companies on the platform are only weeks old. The biggest revenue-generating startup inside Polsia is still early. This isn’t about overnight unicorns. It’s about a new operating model.

You bring the idea.
Polsia spins up the company.
You decide the budget.
The agents execute.

And Polsia takes 20% of revenue — aligning incentives with the founder.
