About This Opportunity

The Thiel Fellowship is a two-year program founded by billionaire investor Peter Thiel that gives $100,000 to young people who want to build new things instead of sitting in a classroom. Fellows skip or stop out of college to receive funding and mentorship from the Thiel Foundation's network of founders, investors, and scientists. The fellowship is designed for young entrepreneurs who have a vision for a new technology or business.
