Danielle Strachman
Danielle Strachman is the co-founder and general partner of 1517 Fund, a venture firm that backs young founders and dropouts at the earliest stages. She was the founding director of the Thiel Fellowship, the program launched alongside Peter Thiel that provides grants to teenagers who leave formal education to build companies. She is best known for identifying and supporting generational talent in young founders, including Vitalik Buterin, Dylan Field, and Laura Deming, and for articulating traits such as hyperfluency and agency as predictors of outsized success.
“I had an interview with Daniel Strachman from Thiel Fellowship, like, maybe a year ago now... she named you, I think, a couple of times in the interview, but you were an early Thiel Fellow. She said that you were hyperfluent.”
