May 25, 2011Selected as a Thiel Fellow
The first class of the “20 Under 20” Thiel FellowshipThiel FellowshipThe Thiel Fellowship is a two-year grant program started by investor Peter Thiel and run by the Thiel Foundation that funds young people who skip or stop out of college to build new things instead. The program has been criticized by figures in education for encouraging young people to leave college.Open the full entry, announced on May 25, 2011, numbered 24; he was listed in the “Energy” group, together with Tom Currier, Jim Danielson, and Eden FullEden FullEden Full (also Eden Full Goh) is a Canadian engineer, inventor and entrepreneur who invented the SunSaluter, a low-cost device that makes solar panels track the sun using water and gravity, and founded the nonprofit of the same name; she left Princeton University in 2011 as a member of the first class of the Thiel Fellowship and in 2018 founded Mobot, a company that tests mobile apps with mechanical robots, of which she is CEO.Open the full entry. Each fellow received $100,000 from the Thiel Foundation over two years, along with mentorship from Peter ThielPeter ThielPeter Thiel is an American entrepreneur and investor, a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies, and the first outside investor in Facebook. He is a partner at the venture capital firm Founders Fund and founded the Thiel Fellowship, which funds young people to leave college and build new things; his public skepticism of higher education, his support for Trump in 2016, and his funding of litigation against Gawker Media have drawn controversy.Open the full entry’s network; the fellows were chosen from more than 400 applicants under the age of 20, and the foundation had originally planned to award 20 fellowships.[7][8]
VatorNews described his project this way: “Sujay Tyle, one of the youngest students at Harvard, wants to hack cellulose to make cheap biofuels.”[8]
In an article of May 28, 2011, Liz Dwyer of GOOD wrote that Thiel had chosen only fellows who were already the cream of the crop, with him as an example: the article calls him one of the youngest students at Harvard who was already interning at DuPont as a teenager, judges that he would probably make it big whether or not he was a fellow, and asks why the program did not instead support budding entrepreneurs who did not already have everything going for them.[3]
A report in The Harvard Crimson of June 13, 2011, gives his age as 17 and describes him as a former Mather House sophomore, formerly in Harvard’s class of 2013, who was researching ways to make cheap biofuels from cellulose; it states that the fellowship gives its recipients $100,000 to leave school and start their own companies, and that if his company failed he could always come back to Harvard.[2]
On when he left school, the 2013 article in The Harvard Crimson and its later profile both state that he left Harvard for the two-year fellowship as a junior, while the TEDxTeen speaker biography states that he took a leave of absence from Harvard University in 2011. In the profile he recalled the move from a structured syllabus to startup work as a shock: “when you go out to the real world, especially startups, you have nothing.”[4][1][5]
The 2013 article in The Harvard Crimson states that the fellowship selected 20 people under the age of 20 each year, fewer than five percent of applicants, and that he left Harvard with $100,000 and some of the best connections in the business world. In the article he called the experience “kind of cool and crazy and wild,” described a “texting relationship” with Peter Thiel, and recalled a typical monthly retreat for the fellows at which they went to Peter Thiel’s house and met a number of Facebook executives.[4]
2012At Scopely
The TEDxTeen speaker biography describes him as vice president of business development at Scopely, a venture-backed social gaming company in Los Angeles, and states that before joining Scopely he led market strategy at Kyruus, a healthcare information technology startup in Boston. The profile in The Harvard Crimson states that this Los Angeles mobile gaming company was headed by a co-founder of Google AdSenseGoogle AdSenseGoogle AdSense is a website advertising monetization program launched by Google in June 2003 that lets website publishers display ads relevant to their content and receive a share of the revenue; its origins are linked to Applied Semantics, which Google acquired the same year.Open the full entry.[5][1]
On June 16, 2012, The Next Web published a video report on him whose headline describes him as 18 years old, a college dropout, and the recipient of $100,000 from the Thiel Fellowship. In it he credited Scopely’s growth from one person to 35 within a few months partly to an $11,000 referral bonus; the piece states that the company received 1,200 applications and moved half of its team to Los Angeles.[9]
In June 2012 TechCrunchTechCrunchTechCrunch is an American technology news outlet founded in 2005 by Michael Arrington and Keith Teare and headquartered in San Francisco; it mainly covers technology companies, startups, and venture capital, and hosts events such as TechCrunch Disrupt. Its ownership passed successively through AOL, Verizon, and Yahoo, and in 2025 Regent announced its acquisition.Open the full entry TV interviewed him, then 18, at the F.ounders conference at the Nasdaq in New York about his move to create a company while so young and his interactions with the education sceptic Peter Thiel; TechCrunch’s summary describes Scopely as a mobile social gaming company that would create a platform for game developers to market their works.[10]
He later said that Scopely “wasn’t changing the world in any way,” but that there he had the opportunity to meet high-profile investors and travel around the world, and that he got to make many mistakes there: “That was the coolest part.” The 2013 article in The Harvard Crimson states that at Scopely he found he was no longer always the youngest person in the room.[1][4]
2012–2013Helping Found Hired
The 2013 article in The Harvard Crimson states that while recruiting engineers at Scopely he concluded that the recruiting process needed to change, and that after finding like-minded entrepreneurs at a conference in Ireland he left Scopely to start a technical recruiting business designed to fix those problems.[4]
The profile in The Harvard Crimson states that during his second year off he helped launch a startup, at hired.com, that matches engineers with companies such as GoogleGoogleGoogle is an American technology company founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and incorporated in 1998.

2014Back at Harvard to Finish His Studies
The profile in The Harvard Crimson states that by then he had already been named to the Forbes “30 under 30” list and considered not returning to Harvard, and that his parents urged him to consider the value of education.[1]
Back at school he concentrated in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, took six classes that year, and worked on a research project with Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig. He recalled that once, while the two were sitting together, Lawrence Lessig’s G-chat window popped up with a message from Edward Snowden, and said: “This will only happen at Harvard.” The Harvard Crimson included him among its “15 Most Interesting Seniors of 2015.”[1]
On his degrees, the Greater Houston Partnership board biography states that he graduated from Harvard College, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Business School; a 2018 TechCrunch report states that he holds an economics degree from Harvard, while the profile in The Harvard Crimson gives his concentration as Organismic and Evolutionary Biology.[12][6][1]
2016Co-founding Frontier Car Group
His TechCrunch author biography states that before this he was a partner at Kingsway Capital, a London-based fund focused on emerging markets.[11]
At 23 he co-founded the Berlin-based Frontier Car Group (FCG) with Peter Lindholm and André Kussmann, serving as chief executive officer, with Peter Lindholm as chief operating officer and André Kussmann as chief technology officer. The company launched at the end of 2016 as a used-car marketplace for countries outside Western Europe and North America: sellers received a quote online, the company inspected the car and bought it at that price, and buyers browsed stock, arranged financing, and bought online through an app or website.[6][12][11][13]
He said that he “fell in love with the Auto1 model” (Auto1 being a Berlin used-car company) and saw how it could apply to emerging markets, adding: “Emerging markets represents nascency.”[6]
Balderton Capital first invested in Frontier Car Group at the seed stage in 2016 and led its Series A in late 2016.[13]
May 1, 2018Frontier Car Group’s $58 Million Series B
On May 1, 2018, Frontier Car Group announced a $58 million Series B, made up of $41 million in equity and $17 million in debt, led by Balderton Capital and TPG Growth, both of which had taken part in the previous $22 million round, with participation from Fraser McCombs Capital and Autotech Ventures. The company then operated in six countries—Chile, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey—had sold 50,000 vehicles since launch, and was on track for $200 million in annualized revenue; he expected EBITDA profitability by the second quarter of 2019. The funding was to continue the company’s expansion into Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The article also states that, per a source, the company had received two unsolicited Series C term sheets of about $100 million each, both at pre-money valuations above $200 million.[6]
In this report TechCrunch describes him as a 24-year-old American and a Thiel Fellow. Speaking about Mexico, he said: “The number one channel for car theft in Mexico is classified advertising,” explaining that people make deals in cash, but “if you show up to a public location with $5,000, that’s a dangerous value proposition.” He added: “Smaller dealers have a lot of trouble finding cars in these markets,” where there are no auction houses or services to import vehicles.[6]
Just weeks later, in May 2018, Naspers invested $89 million in Frontier Car Group.[14]
November 11, 2019OLX Group Invests Up to $400 Million in Frontier Car Group

Frontier Car Group then operated in Nigeria, Mexico, Chile, Pakistan, Indonesia, the United States, India, and Poland; it had acquired WeBuyAnyCar in the United States the previous year and had sold about $700 million worth of cars over the past year, roughly triple the year before. Balderton Capital’s article states that the company had 400 locations in ten countries and about 1,700 employees, and had entered four new countries in less than 18 months since OLX’s first investment; Balderton Capital had also taken part in the company’s $41 million Series B in 2018, and its partner Daniel Waterhouse said that the founders had built the company from nothing to about $700 million in annual car sales in three years.[14][13]
He said: “FCG has nearly tripled performance across every key metric since the first OLX Group investment less than 18 months ago,” and: “Together with OLX and Prosus, we are aiming to revolutionize the used car market in several emerging and developed economies.”[14][13]
Later descriptions of the deal differ: the Greater Houston Partnership board biography states that Frontier Car Group was acquired by OLX/Naspers in December 2019 for about $700 million in an all-cash deal; a 2021 TechCrunch report states that the company sold to OLX/Naspers for about $700 million in 2019; and the Latitud podcast page states that he sold his used-car marketplace to Naspers in 2019.
