Big picture

Time period Development summary
2003 – 2005 Founding and early years. Upon its foundation, Palantir's offering is described as data fusion platforms for integrating, managing, and securing any type of data, at massive scale. Palantir initially faces difficulty attracting interest, until it would find an unlikely partner in 2005 when the Central Intelligence Agency becomes a customer.[1]
2005 < First phase of expansion. After the CIA becomes a customer of Palantir, more U.S. government agencies follow, mostly through word-of-mouth.[1] The United States government makes up 70% of Palantir's business by 2010.
2009 < Second phase of expansion, this time toward the private sector. In 2009 Palantir signs its first private client, JP Morgan Chase. Subsequently, more private firms would join to the point that in 2013 less than 40% of Palantir's revenues are believed to be obtained from government entities.[1]
2013 As of 2013, Palantir's client list include the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States Marine Corps, the United States Air Force, the United States Special Operations Command, the United States Military Academy and the Internal Revenue Service.[2] Exciting investors by its growth, Palantir's valuation grows from $6 billion in September to $9 billion two months later.[1] In 2013, the company makes its first acquisition, after buying Voicegem.
2014 Palantir annual revenue reaches $1 billion, up from $450 million a year earlier.[1]
2016 As of 2016, Palantir cumulates over $2 billion in funding.[3]
2017 Today, Palantir is regarded as the developer of the world's most sophisticated data integration and analysis software.[4] As of 2017, Palantir has nine international offices and four in the United States.[1]
