Polar is a monetization platform focused on developers, acting as a Merchant of Record to handle billing and taxes so small teams and solo founders can sell online products and SaaS globally. Its integration is designed to be implemented with a few lines of code and it emphasizes developer needs and open-source tooling. Polar launched in September 2024 and has grown to 18,000 customers, most of them developers monetizing software. The company positions itself to enable AI-native, one-person businesses to scale without distractions, aiming to make building a business around software as easy as building the software itself. Polar integrates with developer platforms like Framer and Raycast and counts entrepreneurs from Framer, Raycast, Dub, Nuxt, Resend, Supabase, Vercel, WorkOS and Lovable on its cap table. Founder Birk Jernström, who previously sold Tictail to Shopify, says the team is merchant-obsessed and focuses heavily on customer support and understanding customer journeys.
