The Palantir Mafia
The Palantir Mafia is one of the most well known tech groups, and is often called the "Palantir Pack". Before we dive into this group of former employees, let's take a quick look at Palantir.
Officially established in May 2003, Palantir was founded by Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings.
Quick fun fact: The company's name comes from The Lord of the Rings where the magical palantíri were "seeing-stones."
Early financial support came in the form of $2 million from the US Central Intelligence Agency's venture arm, In-Q-Tel, and an additional $30 million from Founders Fund. Palantir went public in September 2020 at a valuation of $20.6 billion.
The biggest winners during Palantir's IPO were:
- Founders Fund - stake worth $1.4 billion
- SOMPO Holdings - stake worth $1 billion
- Disruptive Technology Solutions - stake worth $550 million
- UBS AG - stake worth $300 million
- 8VC - stake worth $363 million
Palantir's technological advancements evolved over a span of three years, involving computer scientists and analysts from intelligence agencies. These developments were facilitated through pilot programs supported by In-Q-Tel. The foundational concept for their software stemmed from technology initially created at PayPal to identify and combat fraudulent activities, particularly those carried out by Russian organized crime syndicates.
The Palantir Mafia
Below we highlight the top 100 companies from the Palantir Mafia, but a total of 111 companies have been founded and the alumni group has collectively raised $11.6 billion as per Crunchbase data. Finance, Health, and SaaS are the industries that the most startups have been founded in by former employees.

As of 2023, Affirm has a market cap of $5.39 billion and over 2,071 employees. In April–June 2023, Affirm processed 2.04% of the total US e-commerce payment value, which was $5.5 billion.
