Nat Eliason explains that at Founders School every student first builds a capital-light business to develop core skills and fund their bigger vision — knowing you can make $1k, $10k, or $100k on demand is itself a founder superpower. He cites a student building websites for local businesses to self-fund his drone project while learning to sell.
