Come on...before you post complaints about how someone else is literally giving away millions of dollars to the wrong promising young people, maybe actually read the list of projects? "Zeno Power is developing small-scale nuclear power systems to provide clean and resilient power in austere environments." He's literally funding clean energy. And even if this year's list didn't have that in the list, let's celebrate s…
Zenopower seems insane though. How does a 23 year old lead an company working on nuclear power?
I didn't know there was so readily a list of places I'd never want to work. Gonna bookmark this site to make sure I never do business with any of them. The most depressing part is how young they all are; which is of course, because they're easier to manipulate lacking real world experience.
Do you even know what the Thiel Fellowships are? Whatever you think of his politics, he literally gives away money to promising young people to help them realize their dreams...in exchange for no equity. Are you really saying that, because you dislike Thiel, you'd never do business with anyone who accepted free money from him?
That’s just me personally, and I wouldn’t judge others by what I would do, but many people do.
Does Peter Thiel still does VC? I thought he left YC and Silicon Valley.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think the concern is that they are taking money from someone with highly debatable/questionable ethics.
Isn’t that true of any public company though? And likely most private ones as well.
B) By that logic, isn't all money tainted? And everyone of us? And every thing?
This is the starting point of every person's decisions regarding being ethical.
How far back do you need to "follow the money" before you consider it "ethical"?
That is up to every person. Theil has actively engaged in dubious ethics, I won't belabor them again. With him it is one hop to "dubious", compared to other organizations where you have to make several graph node hops to get to something dubius. This is a personal choice and everyone has to do their own research if they care about it.

Considering Peter Thiel is on the list [1] of most hated person on HN and Silicon Valley, I am kinda surprised this reached front page. Does Peter Thiel still does VC? I thought he left YC and Silicon Valley. [1] Mark Zukerberg, Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel.
They've recently legalized doing venture capital in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Boston and dozens of other cities (including those outside of the US too).
