Meet the Silicon Valley college dropouts throwing their own graduation

"Dropout Graduation" organizers Ali Debow and Cory Levy

Ali Debow

• "Dropout Graduation" is the brainchild of Thiel Fellow Ali Debow and Z Fellows founder Cory Levy.
• The May 10th ceremony is for any founders who dropped out of college and didn't attend a graduation.
• The Thiel Fellowship awards participants $100,000 and requires them to drop out of college.

On May 10, hundreds of founders will gather at San Francisco's Marina Theatre for a commencement ceremony of sorts.
