Running Thiel Capital And The Race For Senate With Blake Masters | OAP #54

Blake Masters grew up in Tucson, Arizona. He attended Stanford University and Stanford Law School.

Blake runs Thiel Capital, a multi-billion dollar firm that invests in new technology companies, and the Thiel Foundation, a nonprofit foundation that promotes science and innovation. The Foundation’s Thiel Fellowship Program has paid 225 young people to drop out of college and instead create new companies, which are together now worth more than $45 billion.

In 2014, Blake co-authored the #1 New York Times bestseller Zero to One, which sold more than three million copies.

Blake lives in Tucson—a short drive from where he and his wife Catherine grew up. They homeschool their three sons, Miles, Graham, and Rex, and they enjoy hiking in the desert.
