Profile

Palantir Technologies Inc.PLTRInformation Technology

Builds Gotham, Foundry, AIP, and Apollo to integrate data, run operational workflows, deploy governed AI, and deliver software across cloud, on-premises, and rugged environments. Revenue is split between government and commercial institutions, with government slightly larger and the United States supplying most sales.

Builds four connected software platforms that turn fragmented organizational data into operational systems. Gotham supports defense, intelligence, and other government missions; Foundry integrates data, analytics, and workflows for commercial and government users; AIP connects large language models to governed data and human-reviewed processes; Apollo delivers and updates software across cloud, on-premises, and rugged environments. Their shared Ontology maps data, logic, and actions into a common operating model.

Revenue comes from software and related services sold to government and commercial institutions, with government customers contributing slightly more. Most revenue comes from the United States, while overseas work includes allied governments and enterprises. Complex deployments and direct customer involvement are central to execution; long sales cycles, contract termination rights, security-clearance requirements, export controls, and founder-concentrated voting power are structural dependencies.
