Helping to Launch the Thiel Fellowship, Founding the 1517 Fund & Raising $30M+

In this episode we chat with Michael Gibson, the Co-founder and a General Partner at 1517, an early stage venture capital fund that supports teams led by young founders. After studying Moral & Political Philosophy at Oxford, Michael was the vice president for grants at the Thiel Foundation and a principal at Thiel Capital.

We discuss why Michael left the Thiel Foundation to launch 1517, how 1517 raised over $30 million, and his thoughts on the future of entrepreneurship with regards to what he looks for in the people he invests in as well as emerging fields of tech.

Here are his 3 action items:
