Peter Thiel Fellowship

The Peter Thiel Fellowship is a program that awards young entrepreneurs with funding—usually $100,000 over two years—and mentorship to pursue innovative projects or startups instead of traditional college education. It aims to encourage unconventional thinking and entrepreneurship among talented individuals aged 18 to 23, supporting them to develop breakthrough ideas early in their careers. The fellowship emphasizes independence, risk-taking, and creative problem-solving, fostering a community of forward-thinkers who aim to make significant impact without following the traditional academic path.
