He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, and dozens of startups, many run by former colleagues who have been dubbed the “PayPal Mafia.” He is a partner at Founders Fund, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm that has funded companies including SpaceX and Airbnb.

Thiel received a BA in Philosophy from Stanford University and a JD from Stanford Law School. He has been awarded honorary doctoral degrees from institutions like Universidad Francisco Marroquín and has been recognized for his accomplishments including being honored as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and receiving a TechCrunch Crunchie Award for Venture Capitalist of the Year.
