Thank you @TechCrunch for covering Polar!
ChatGPT, Codex, and Claude weren’t reliable enough for complex work across the web, so we built a browser agent that is.

We just raised $5.7M for @PolarBrowser, the AI browser that beats Anthropic and OpenAI on every major web agent benchmark.
- 4,500,000+ actions taken for users, automating sales, recruiting, and ops
- One company cancelled Clay and saves 25+ hrs/wk per person
- Team is from MIT, YC, Prod, Citadel, Jane Street, Perplexity, Modal, and Apple
100 hours of work. From 30 seconds of typing.

A lot of my MIT circle ended up in quant at places like Jane Street, Citadel, and HRT.
Now a huge chunk of them have moved from NYC to SF to found or join AI startups.
And I've noticed something interesting... the finance mindset is actually the wrong one for startups.
In finance, being wrong is expensive. You want to protect your downside, size your bets carefully, and minimize losses. The whole game is essentially loss mitigation.
Startups operate on completely different math, where the power law means that missing a winner costs orders of magnitude more than being wrong.
If you catch the one company that returns 1000x, it buries every bad bet you ever made, combined.
That's easy to say, but it looks insane in practice.
A lot of people think Elon has dumb takes and on a lot of individual things, they might be right, but he's been correct on the things that actually move the needle. E.g. electric vehicles when everyone called it a toy market, rockets when "private space" was a punchline, and AI risk before it was a mainstream concern.
The results speak for themselves.
Being right often matters in finance, but in startups and VC, being right on the things that matter is the only thing
