Palantir Technologies Raises $70 Million At $2.5 Billion Valuation

palantir-technologies-picturePalantir Technologies has raised $70 million in Series F funding, we've confirmed with the company. This brings Palantir's total funding to nearly $200 million. While the company declined to reveal the valuation in the round, we've learned from sources that it is around $2.5 billion. Two unnamed New York-based hedge funds anchored the round, and multiple early investors and university endowments participated in the round. Founded in 2004 by former PayPal employees and Stanford computer scientists, Palantir offers a high-powered data analysis platform. Palantir Government and Palantir Finance both integrate, visualize, and analyze information in these sectors. The company analyzes a variety of data including structured, unstructured, relational, temporal, and geospatial content. The virtue of Palantir is that it accepts huge databases and allows users to slice and dice this information.
