Polsia builds an orchestration platform of AI agents intended to manage core business workflows such as coding, research, cold outreach, paid advertising, and customer support. The founder framed the product as enabling AI to run companies, asserting the approach lowers barriers to company creation by allowing individuals to build with “an idea and a laptop.” Polsia said it ran its own fundraising process on the platform, using the system to manage the data room, investor briefings, and diligence. The company reported it is approaching a $10 million annual run rate while operating with one human and no employees. Polsia named a variety of infrastructure and technology partners, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, AWS, and others, as part of its ecosystem. The company presented its long-term mission as expanding participation in the AI economy by enabling more autonomous company operations.

Sandbar is an AI hardware startup founded by former Meta employees Mina Fahmi and Kirak Hong that makes the Stream, a microphone-equipped smart ring dedicated to hands-free note-taking. The ring’s mic is normally off and is activated by touching a capacitive panel, after which audio is transcribed and analyzed in a companion phone app that also supports multi-turn conversations with an AI assistant and basic media controls. Early demand has been encouraging: the first preorder batch sold out and a second batch has been opened, with some testers using the device more than 50 times per day. The 15-person team, whose alumni hail from Amazon, Fitbit, Equinox, Google, and Apple, has spent over two years developing the product and plans to begin shipping this summer. Near-term road-map items include a web platform, lower response latency, a refined UI, and agentic workflows that act on captured notes. Longer term, Sandbar may open the app to users without the ring, broadening its market. The company has raised $36 million to date, enabling it to double its software and machine-learning headcount and hire marketing staff ahead of launch.
