Comment on Peter Thiel: $100k grant to 20 founders who drop out of schoolparent

Comments

Absolutely, I just don't want some rich guy bribing them to drop out. If they develop a great passion for a startup idea, I will provide that grant myself after a period of time and after a rigorous debate.

What the heck do you think Peter Thiel's evil motives are here? He's trying to help those people and disagrees with you about how best to help them.

I would hope the point of the foundation is for people whose parents cannot provide the grant after the rigorous debate.

The discussion prior to applying for the grant is a function of your family, not of the grant. Though I would also think that Peter would only fund people who have worthwhile ideas.
