I guess it’s awkward if you were trying to argue that college is the best way for everyone to achieve entrepreneurial success, but I ‘m not sure that’s a common argument for college. Certainly, the people I went to college with didn’t have that as a primary goal. To be fair, it does seem extra challenging to identify 17 to 20 year olds who will go on to be entrepreneurial successes, and Thiel and his selection committee deserve credit for that. It doesn’t really confirm his broader ideas about college, though. Edit: stuartjohnson12 claimed in their comment that many recipients have already received funding and started building their business and/or have wealthy parents. If true, that makes the fellowship’s ability to identify people who will go on to succeed less significant.
