Breakout Labs is the Thiel Foundation’s newest program. Through Breakout Labs, they are reshaping the way early-stage science is funded, so that independent researchers and early-stage companies can advance their most radical ideas. Venture capital firms want research that can be quickly brought to market, and federal funding offers little room for risky, unproven ideas. They are jumping into this funding gap to energize innovative research. Breakout Labs is not a typical foundation grant—they are a revolutionary, revolving funding model where successful projects fund the next generation of audacious scientific exploration.
