Thiel Fellowship was founded in 2011 by entrepreneur and technology investor Peter Thiel, a two-year program aimed at young people who want to build new things. Thiel participants are absent from the university or stop studying for a specified period during which they receive a $ 100,000 grant and support from Thiel Foundation's network of founders or investors and scientists.

What distinguishes this fellowship from others is:

[1] It is a grant, not a partnership. As long as the fellows are working, they can dispose of the funding they receive as they wish, and the Foundation will not take any profit from the projects they complete.

[2] It helps fellowship participants build a cohesive team. Whether they need programmers or sales experts, Thiel will support them in all aspects that ensure the success of the project.

[3] It enables the fellowship program participants to make profits and gain, by connecting them with a network of investors from the outset of their projects, so that they can build effective professional relationships to ensure that they get the capital necessary to continue to develop their projects.

The Thiel Foundation offers a two-year fellowship opportunity and a $ 100,000 financial grant to young people under 23, who want to start their own business away from school. The program includes a series of trainings and meetings with experienced people that will help you learn everything you need, and enable you to build your own team to work on your project, but the grantees must stop studying, if any, the duration of the program.

The program provides you with the network you need to build your project from partners, potential customers, a $ 100,000 grant without any conditions on how to use the amount, and connects you with investors from the start to ensure you receive ongoing support.
