Palantir Technologies

Collaborative data exploration for relationship analysis

Palantir is a fully open and extensible software solution designed from the ground up for data integration and analysis. The Palantir platform combines an intuitive user interface with a revolutionary database technology. Founded in 2004, Palantir was developed to address the most complex information analysis and security challenges faced by the U.S. intelligence, military, and law enforcement communities. Palantir is based on the simple idea that the human mind is the most effective way to identify patterns in information, and computers are the most capable tools to manage enormous amounts of data. The Palantir platform uniquely leverages this innate human ability with advanced computational power to accelerate the analysis of data at massive scale. 

Palantir is the first open and extensible enterprise platform that fuses the four essential analytic requirements – data integration, intuitive search and discovery, knowledge management, and secure collaboration. A productized solution, Palantir was designed from the ground up to enable real-time analysis and collaboration across organizations while enforcing privacy and civil liberties restrictions. The platform accomplishes this by seamlessly integrating structured and unstructured data, and simultaneously tracking the source and history of all data that enters the system. Across the enterprise, users can then perform relational, geospatial, temporal, and statistical analysis of hundreds of billions of records in one environment while only accessing the subset of the data they are authorized to see.

Palantir is widely deployed by government agencies to solve mission critical problems in the fields of intelligence, defense, cyber security, regulation and oversight, protection of civil liberties, healthcare, and global finance.

Palantir is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. IQT initially invested in Palantir in September 2005. For more information visit www.palantir.com.
