The Mission That Built Palantir -- From Post-9/11 Intelligence to the AI Operating System of the West

This module traces Palantir's origin story from its founding in 2003 with CIA seed funding through In-Q-Tel, born from the intelligence failures of 9/11, to its current position as a $360 billion enterprise AI company. Candidates will understand how Palantir's founding mission -- connecting the dots that intelligence agencies missed -- directly shapes its culture, product philosophy, and what it expects from every employee today.
