Introducing the Polar Startup Program

Small team, big ambitions.

We're building the billing layer for the next generation of AI products. Come build it with us.

billing = fn(events)

Modern software is priced around usage. Yet billing systems remain static.

We believe analytics & billing belong in the same platform. Real-time event ingestion powers instant unit economics and analytics, leading to deterministic and versioned billing as code.

We're building Polar to become the standard Events → Analytics → Billing stack for the next generation of software.

We're a small team with big ambitions, working with high ownership and autonomy. Polar is open source and built in the open with our community.

Fewer people,
more ownership

Our mission is to build the finance layer for the next generation of AI products. To get there, we work by 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.

We take design as seriously as uptime

Design at Polar spans the entire stack. Great developer ergonomics, docs that respect your time, dashboards that make usage billing legible & checkouts your customers trust.
