The Thiel Fellowship program for young entrepreneurs has announced its 2024 class, with Peter Thiel criticizing universities. The program offers $100k to trade in degrees, and participants work on startups. Alumni praise the program's success and impact on their careers.
Thiel fellowship but it’s for smart kids to drop out and become an electrician. (It’s secretly just a low voltage electric services roll up)
Instead of graduating college in 2020, I took the Thiel Fellowship. And joined a cohort of “peers” way out of my league. Impostor syndrome is surreal among 20 startup dropouts. Fortunately, it fades away over dinners, ski trips, and bday parties. Welcome to our 2024 fellows! https://t.co/vMs7B1rur6
It's been 30 Under 30 with money for years -- finding undiscovered and overlooked talent is a different game. Looking for other early stage belief capital -- lots of great orgs here! https://t.co/Jqo3dFEPjl https://t.co/3o14ZOneIt

Congrats to all the Thiel Fellows! Great see lots (almost half) of Z Fellows alumni representation! https://t.co/6hZoZf9klO

What about a Thiel Fellowship Graduate Program where you can trade in your degree for $100k in your 30s?
Congratulations to all of the Thiel Fellows! I remember going to a house party with a bunch of Thiel Fellows many years ago. Some of them didn't know how to play Flip Cup bc they didn't go to college. Let me know if you need someone to teach you 😎
New fellows announced -- congrats! "Today's universities are as corrupt as the medieval Catholic Church. The Reformation is underway," said Peter Thiel. https://t.co/YFIJ9pWmot
