Most Entrepreneurs probably have skills that pay way above poverty. Apple founders worked for Atari, that kid that&#x27;s building his own drive less car, won bunch of hacking competitions to fund his project. Brilliant people don&#x27;t need a check for &lt;&lt; less than poverty because they can find contract work at high rates or get a job or go to college and if they&#x27;re driven they will get there project done anyway.
