The Thiel Foundation, based in San Francisco, California, operates in the research services space as a mid-sized foundation focused on freedom across political, personal, and economic dimensions. It funds innovative scientific research and new technologies intended to improve people’s lives, and it supports organizations and individuals who expose human rights abuses and authoritarian practices. It also promotes exploration of new ideas and spaces where people can be less dependent on government and where freedom can flourish. Its work engages researchers, technologists, and rights advocates who are active in promoting accountability and openness. The foundation backs initiatives that reveal abuses and challenge autocratic governance, while supporting efforts that allow individuals to exercise greater autonomy. In 2018, it announced the 2018 class of Thiel Fellows.
