Not disputing anything you're saying, which is that the TF isn't quite a "Horatio Alger" fund, but I still think there's a lot of value in diverting people away from college who don't really want or need to be there, and growing their companies 1-4 years faster. It's no secret that Thiel hates how colleges have largely become a culturally self-appointed gateway to the middle class (in his perception), and that he's trying very hard to dispel the idea that college is necessary.
