About Palantir

Palantir Technologies was founded in 2003 to build software for the intelligence community, leveraging technology approaches originally developed at PayPal to detect fraud. Its first product, Palantir Gotham, was widely adopted by defense and intelligence agencies to track terrorism and integrate massive data silos.

The company later expanded into the commercial sector with Palantir Foundry, helping massive enterprises optimize manufacturing, supply chains, and healthcare logistics. Most recently, Palantir launched AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) to securely integrate large language models into enterprise operations.
