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.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/NyHHieTlmHDUHZCr0-GqsmgcxwwW_QdWcFQKUIrpKnI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mZGY1/YWFlNGYzMTA0ZWY1/ZmRlNGY0NDIxMjA0/ZDQyYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
