$0 to $100M ARR in 3 months: The AI plan to run every company - Ben Cera [CloudKitchens & Polsia]

On this episode of BILLIONS, I’m sitting down with Ben Cera, the man who helped Travis Kalanick (Uber Founder) build CloudKitchens, and who is now building the "God Mode" for startups: Polsia.

Polsia is an AI that builds and runs companies autonomously. No employees, no meetings, just 24/7 execution. Ben is currently at a $6M annual run rate with a 30% week-on-week growth and he plans to hit $100M ARR in just 3 months. If you want to understand how AI agents are replacing the traditional SaaS model and how "Product-Market Fit" has become a search problem, this is your masterclass.

In this episode, we break down:

The CloudKitchens Era: Lessons learned from building a global giant with Travis Kalanick.

The Autonomous Blueprint: How Pulsia builds companies from scratch without human intervention.

$100M ARR in 90 Days: The aggressive growth strategy behind the AI revolution.

The "SaaS-pocalypse": Why the software you use today is about to be replaced by agents.

The "Taste" Economy: Why humans are moving from "builders" to "orchestrators."
