two year update: took the $100k and turned it into a ten $10k angel investments. all ten are still alive-- one is a unicorn, one got picked up by a faang, and the rest are still kicking. Feeling grateful, highest learnings per dollar imaginable to get to be along for the ride.https://twitter.com/WillManidis/status/1148965436798709760 …
downside: getting my superhuman student trial canceled
upside: joining an incredible community of folks working to change the world, and making lifelong friends along the way. 
Couldn't be more thrilled to join the 2019 class of Thiel Fellows

I hope future fellows put aside some portion to fund individuals with a grant to help get those without access to capital or community started. We know $1K goes a very long way.

a little capital mixed with a lot of determination can go a long way - $1k is huge for a kid who wants to create
