Mocked as 'AI slop,' Polsia hits $20M run rate in 340 days

Polsia, an AI startup once dismissed as "AI slop" (founder Ben flipped the word to name it), has reached a $20M run rate in 340 days.
Growth is accelerating: $0→$1M in 12 weeks, $1M→$10M in 10 weeks, $10M→$20M in just 6 weeks. Target: $100M ARR.
Ben published an episode, "The Run Rate," walking through the month-by-month journey from idea to $20M, ending in Tokyo, where he says he came back with a bolder vision. Polsia v2 is coming soon, and the path from $25M to $100M will "look very different."
