Breakout Labs was a grant-making program of the Thiel Foundation (a philanthropic organization created by Peter Thiel) from 2011 until 2021. Breakout Labs issued convertible grants[1] for early-stage commercialization of scientific research that was considered too speculative or long-term to interest the for-profit sector (such as angel investors and venture capitalists) but may have been unsuitable for traditional sources of funding for scientific research due to its radical or offbeat nature.[2] Grants were made through a competitive application and selection process.[3]
