Today I sit down with Nat Eliason - founder, writer, and now launching Alpha School, a new entrepreneur high school in New York City. Tuition is $150K a year. The promise: every student hits a million dollars in gross profit by graduation, or the family gets their tuition refunded. The first class is around 20 freshmen. The day is split between AI-driven academics in the morning and business building the rest of the day. This is also the Nat who in his spare time built Felix - an AI agent he gave a Stripe account, an email, and an X handle, then told to launch a business overnight. Felix has done $60+K in sales since. Nat has not touched the code. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. 05:55 What Alpha Does Differently From Conventional Schools 11:48 Playing the Fake Game of School 21:46 How Nat Masters New Domains 32:18 Open Claw Deep Dive 43:50 Building the Alpha Entrepreneurship Program 51:43 Freshman Year Structure at Alpha School 1:00:23 How Students Can Pitch for Equity or Debt Funding 1:04:08 Why Establish a New York Location for Year One 1:11:15 Nat’s 10-Year Vision 1:15:11 AI as a Force Multiplier for Teenage Founders 1:16:15 How Alpha Students Quickly Reverse-Engineered a Workaround After Open Claw Went Down 1:24:13 Teen-Parent Conflict as a Symptom of Infantilization
