Kind of disappointing that the thiel fellowship has finally descended into "fund kids who already have businesses". It was more interesting when it was "fund kids who have <generic> potential", but also I did watch the fellowship struggle to match fundable ideas with money (that is actually hard and takes effort, reputational risk, followthrough, discipline, that I think only one person I knew in the org had - and she left a while back, and probably investments in real leadership training and real mentorship that they weren't willing to do) much less know what to do with smart kids that had good ideas that weren't fundable/profitable.
