About Palantir Technologies
We were founded in 2003 and started building software for the intelligence community in the United States to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations. We later began working with commercial enterprises, who often faced fundamentally similar challenges in working with data. We have built four principal software platforms, Palantir Gotham (“Gotham”), Palantir Foundry (“Foundry”), Palantir Apollo (“Apollo”), and our Artificial Intelligence Platform (“AIP”). Foundry is our foundational data operations platform, which provides the core capabilities for data management, logic authoring, systemic mapping development through Palantir Ontology (“Ontology”), analytics, and workflow development.
