1517 Fund is a venture capital fund and community supporting college dropouts solving hard problems and deep tech scientists with investment at the earliest stages of their companies. Founded by the cofounders of the Thiel Fellowship, it supports founders across software, hardware, and deep tech verticals and also provides a community to hackers, makers, and scientists from across the world. The fund aims to take young people, the uncredentialed, and renegade scientists seriously, often nurturing their interests long before they are ready for funding. The firm believes that education should be liberating and that true potential can be recognized without traditional degrees.
