A teenager at NYC's Founders School earned his first $10k in two months by walking into VC firms and restaurants pitching website redesigns, after training in cold calling, in-person sales and negotiation. He also window-washed a restaurant, failed once, and redid it. He's now building an agentic neobank. Nat Eliason congratulated him as his program's first student to hit $10k.
