[Voiceover] 40 finalists,
20 winners,
a six figure investment,
and one life changing decision.
We are competing for the $100,000 Thiel grant.
But here's the catch.
Anyone who wins a fellowship has to drop out of school.

you're an idiot if you drop out.
It's so nerve-racking.
[Voiceover] Whose idea would you invest 100k in?
This is Teen Technorati.
