The startup Polsia has raised $30 million in investments and has likely reached a valuation of $250 million, reported the company’s founder Ben Sera. Polsia is an autonomous artificial intelligence system capable of independently managing businesses without involving personnel.
The latest investment round included venture funds like Sound Ventures, True Ventures, Offline Ventures, Adjacent, Tekton Ventures, Drysdale Ventures, Vaynerfund, as well as several angel investors. True Ventures expressed pride in participating in supporting Polsia, noting that they are most impressed by the platform’s potential to build lasting businesses under a solo founder’s leadership.
The startup operates without full-time employees, relying on autonomous artificial intelligence to manage business processes. The company’s policy indicates that AI was already involved in the fundraising process, with Sera only signing the documents. Currently, the startup’s annual revenue has reached $10 million.
The investment announcement caused a significant stir on social media. Part of the users are skeptical of the startup, considering it to be a hype project or a fake, pointing out the similarity of the name Polsia to the word “aislop,” which means low-quality AI-generated content. The scalability of the startup model without involving human resources also raises questions.
In this context, AI startup Leadbay is mentioned, which recently raised $4.3 million to enter the US market and develop new technological capabilities through a partnership with Sorbonne University.
