Article's first page ends with a quote from her father: "What I say to Laura is 'The biggest problem you have so far, kid, is you haven't failed yet.'" I'm not sure if the author is intending to create a sense of dramatic irony here, or it's purely accidental, but it does suggest a reading of Peter Thiel gives 17 year old $100k so she can fail. Which in a sense isn't too far from the truth. She's not too young to fail, she's just too young to have failed yet. Hoping this comment isn't misconstrued, as I'm just musing about the article itself. I wish Laura (and all the participants in Peter's program) the best of luck!
