Thiel 搞的11個unicorn 讓大學很尷尬, 都是不讀大學的高中生或者退學的搞的

Thiel’s Unicorn Success Is Awkward for Colleges

The billionaire investor’s fellowship has helped build 11 startups valued at $1 billion or more along with a host of other innovative companies — all by enticing smart kids to forgo higher education.

 

Atlassian Corp. agreed last week to acquire video-messaging startup Loom for $975 million, just short of the $1 billion “unicorn” valuation that would have put its co-founder and Thiel fellow Shahed Kahn in illustrious company. Eleven of the 271 recipients of the Thiel Fellowship have founded unicorns so far, an impressive accomplishment that doesn’t even take into account the inspiring innovations of other fellows and the many exciting projects yet to mature.
