Small team, big ambitions
Rewriting billing for the AI era
Mission
billing = fn(events)
Usage in, revenue out
Billing was built for a world where a customer was a person, a product was a seat, and a price was set once a year.
AI products are consumed by the token, by agents nobody is watching. Costs move hourly, pricing changes weekly, and every request has to decide whether an agent may keep going.
Our mission is to make billing a function of events. Usage in, revenue out, with what every customer has used, is entitled to and costs to serve known the moment it happens. A finance layer that keeps pace with the products it bills.
How we work
Fewer people, more ownership
Five principles keep us fast
Our mission is to build the finance layer for the next generation of AI products. We get there with a small set of principles that keep us fast and focused.
- 01
Own the outcome
Take problems end to end with high ownership and autonomy.
- 02
Build in the open
Polar is open source. We build in public, with our community.
- 03
Obsess over developers
Great developer experience is the product.
- 04
Keep the team small
Fewer people with more ownership. Wear multiple hats.
- 05
Design by subtraction
Say no often. Clarity comes from what's removed.
