If you want to innovate like Da Vinci, education is overrated
Takeaway: Leonardo da Vinci is arguably the greatest innovator of all time. Da Vinci’s example helps justify Peter Thiel’s radical 20 Under 20 fellowship for college dropouts. See why, and the big caveat.
“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.” -Leonardo da Vinci
I have to admit that I scoffed last week when I read about Peter Thiel’s plan to give twenty $100,000 fellowships to budding entrepreneurs under 20 so that they can drop out of school and launch their own startups.
