Palantir Technologies

Palantir crossed $100B in market cap in 2024 as its AI Platform (AIP) — built on top of its Gotham and Foundry data products — became the enterprise AI tool of choice for defense and intelligence agencies worldwide. The US Army, CIA, and over 40 allied governments rely on Palantir for battlefield intelligence, supply chain optimization, and national security analytics. AIP's 'Bootcamp' model, where enterprises deploy AI agents within 5 days, generated $2.8B in revenue in fiscal 2025, up 36% year-over-year. CEO Alex Karp's contrarian philosophy and the company's complex role in US drone warfare is examined in the book 'Palantir: Power, Privacy, and the Surveillance State'.
