A bit OT but this stood out:<p>&gt;A similar idea - which eventually evolved into Oyo Rooms - won him a coveted Thiel Fellowship - a programme sponsored by PayPal co-creator and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel - which pays for 20 teenagers each year to stop studying and try to set up a business instead.<p>Someone tell me there are safeguards in place, because this just sounds like an award for dropping out. I assume there have to be assurances from the school&#x2F;college that they can return to their studies later if business doesn&#x27;t take off?
