Business Description

Overview We build software that empowers organizations to effectively integrate their data, decisions, and operations at scale. 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. AIP is our generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform, which provides secure connectivity to third-party-provided large language models (“LLMs”), a development toolchain for building AI-powered agents and automations, an array of AI-enabled end user applications, a broad evaluations framework for governing AI workflows in production, and more. Apollo is our continuous delivery platform, enabling the orchestration of upgrades of services and assets every day to manage the underlying infrastructure that hosts our other platforms. Gotham 4 Table of Contents integrates with our other platforms, as well as our broader defense offerings, to power a wide array of missions across allied defense and intelligence operations. For over a decade, Gotham has surfaced insights for global defense agencies, the intelligence community, disaster relief organizations and beyond. Foundry is becoming a central operating system not only for individual institutions but also for entire industries. Apollo is a cloud-agnostic, single control layer that coordinates ongoing delivery of new features, security updates, and platform configurations, helping to ensure the continuous operation of critical systems. Apollo allows our customers to run their software in virtually any environment. In 2023, we began deploying our newest offering, AIP, which is designed for customers across the commercial and government sectors, enabling them to derive value from recent breakthroughs in AI via the combination of our existing software platforms with generative AI models, including LLMs. We believe AIP uniquely allows users to connect LLMs and other AI with their data and operations to facilitate decision-making within the legal, ethical, and security constraints that they require. The Ontology has continuously evolved over time, serving as the heart of our platforms by activating data and analytics inside operations, enabling real-time connectivity between data, analytics, and operational teams, as well as AI. Ontology generally refers to the systematic mapping of data to meaningful context. The Palantir Ontology goes far beyond the traditional concept by integrating the elements of a decision—the data, logic, and actions—into a foundational representation of the organization, and allowing users to build interconnected workflows, turning specialized expertise into shared infrastructure to dynamically optimize decision-making across the enterprise. The Ontology can help create a shared understanding across all users in a data ecosystem regardless of technical skills, enabling organizations to scale more efficiently and rapidly. Recent crises and systemic shocks, including global conflicts, have made clear to many of our customers that accommodating the extended timelines ordinarily required to realize results from implementing new software solutions is not a viable option. As a result, customers are increasingly adopting our software, which can be ready in days, over internal software development efforts, which may take months or years. See further discussion in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Macroeconomic Trends . ” Our Platforms We have built four principal software platforms: Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and AIP. Our software platforms provide the critical infrastructure needed to integrate our customers’ data and operations and run their software in virtually any environment. The vertically integrated nature of these platforms allows users of varying technical abilities to collaborate effectively in our platforms.…
