Freedom
Promoting the ideal of freedom around the world is among the most important goals of the Thiel Foundation. We support organizations that defend freedom of speech and access to information, champion those who oppose authoritarian governments and expose human rights abuses, encourage the exploration of new ideas and new spaces, stimulate a robust public appreciation for freedom, and expand the sphere of liberty.

The Seasteading InstituteSeasteading is the extension of homesteading, an elementary principle of property rights, to the unsettled oceans of the world. The Seasteading Institute works to develop and create autonomous floating communities on international waters. These clusters will restore to human discourse a robust understanding of freedom, unfettered by arbitrary bureaucracy. The Seasteading Institute’s goal is to establish seasteading as the frontier of human settlement, and to enable innovation in political and social systems. As a non-profit organization, the Seasteading Institute aims to jump-start the seasteading movement, spread the word about seasteading’s potential, and bring together the people and organizations who will write the next chapter in the story of human freedom.Read more about The Seasteading Institute. |
