Bangalore: “Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art, it is a practice” is a very famous quote by Peter Drucker.

Peter Thiel is a German born American entrepreneur, hedge fund manager and a renowned venture capitalist who is now a professor in Stanford University. Ironically, he is the same person who had encouraged students to drop out from college by giving them funds to encourage budding entrepreneurial talents. He began his teaching venture with the topic ‘Computer Science 183: Startups’ and his first class was filled to a capacity of 250 in just few minutes from its commencement. He also says that if he does his job perfectly then it must be the last class a student has to attend ever.
