This year, among young people who have received the Peter Thiel Fellowship (The Thiel Fellowship), is an entrepreneur from Ukraine Yvonne Dumanyan, who now lives in the USA and studies at Duke University, writes the Internet portal AIN.

A Til scholarship of $ 100 000 is awarded every year to those young people who do not want to waste time in colleges, but to implement their ideas, be it business or research.

This year, more than 6000 people applied, and 29 was selected from them. Ukrainian Yvonne Dumanyan is now a co-founder and CEO of a startup. Biometrix, which is developing a wearable smart device that can predict the possibility of injury for an athlete. It looks like a sensor attached to the skin, evaluates the movements of the athlete and determines the risk factors that the user is notified of. Yvonne, in sports, faced the risk of injuring her ankle, which inspired her to develop a wearable device called SmartStrides. This idea later developed into a startup.

“Many thanks to The Thiel Fellowship for this wonderful opportunity and for each of the outstanding young people whom I will be happy to call friends. Never stop trying to change the world! ”, - wrote Yvonne on Facebook.

This scholarship was launched at 2011 to test a simple thesis: college is not the only way for a young man, especially if he wants to create something new, says Blake Masters, president of The Thiel Foundation. This thesis has been proven by many graduates of the scholarship program. According to the company's internal data, graduates of the program are now worth more than $ 1,4 billion.
