Palantir Technologies

edit

Palantir’s mission is to solve the most important problems for the world’s most important institutions.

Palantir was founded in 2004 by a handful of PayPal alumni and Stanford computer scientists. Since then Palantir has doubled in size every year while retaining early-stage values: a startup culture, strong work ethic, and rigorous hiring standards.

Palantir works in a variety of problem areas for various customers in both private and public sector, helping them answer questions like:

• How do you prevent the next $65Bn ponzi scheme?
• How do you take down human trafficking networks?
• How can we help borrowers avoid foreclosure on a massive scale/stabilize housing?
• How can you prevent fraud in Medicare?
• Can you help governments save billions/identify ways to reduce spending?
• Can you help scientists monitor the environment after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill?
• How do you defend the IP of companies from cyber espionage by bad actors?
• How can you help stop the genocide in the Sudan?
• How can we help target gangs to end their violence?
