Though usually listed as having been founded in 2004, SEC filings state Palantir's official incorporation to be in May 2003 by Peter Thiel (co-founder of PayPal), who named the start-up after the "seeing stone" in Tolkien's legendarium.{{Cite web |date=April 2014 |title=A (Pretty) Complete History of Palantir |url=http://www.mausstrategicconsulting.com/1/post/2014/04/a-pretty-complete-history-of-palantir.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140516035733/http://www.mausstrategicconsulting.com/1/post/2014/04/a-pretty-complete-history-of-palantir.html |archive-date=16 May 2014 |publisher=Maus Strategic Consulting}} Thiel saw Palantir as a "mission-oriented company" which could apply software similar to PayPal's fraud recognition systems to "reduce terrorism while preserving civil liberties."{{Cite web |last1=Greenberg |first1=Andy |last2=Mac |first2=Ryan |date=August 14, 2013 |title=How A 'Deviant' Philosopher Built Palantir, A CIA-Funded Data-Mining Juggernaut |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/08/14/agent-of-intelligence-how-a-deviant-philosopher-built-palantir-a-cia-funded-data-mining-juggernaut/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150604110616/http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/08/14/agent-of-intelligence-how-a-deviant-philosopher-built-palantir-a-cia-funded-data-mining-juggernaut/ |archive-date=June 4, 2015 |access-date=September 7, 2017 |website=Forbes}}

In 2004, Thiel bankrolled the creation of a prototype by PayPal engineer Nathan Gettings and Stanford University students Joe Lonsdale and Stephen Cohen. That same year, Thiel hired Alex Karp, a former colleague of his from Stanford Law School, as chief executive officer.{{Cite web |title=charlierose |url=http://media.palantirtech.com/videos/charlierose.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120201172817/http://media.palantirtech.com/videos/charlierose.html |archive-date=2012-02-01 |access-date=2012-01-30 |publisher=Media.palantirtech.com}}

Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company initially struggled to find investors. According to Karp, Sequoia Capital chairman Michael Moritz doodled through an entire meeting, and a Kleiner Perkins executive lectured the founders about the inevitable failure of their company.{{Cite web |title=Contact information |url=http://www.palantir.com/contact |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130906171806/http://www.palantir.com/contact/ |archive-date=2013-09-06 |access-date=2013-09-10}} The only early investments were $2 million from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel, and $30 million from Thiel himself and his venture capital firm, Founders Fund.{{Cite news |last=Gorman |first=Siobhan |date=September 4, 2009 |title=How Team of Geeks Cracked Spy Trade |work=The Wall Street Journal |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125200842406984303 |url-status=live |access-date=August 8, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416223431/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125200842406984303 |archive-date=April 16, 2019}}{{Cite news |title=A Tech Fix For Illegal Government Snooping? |newspaper = NPR.org|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106479613 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028133306/https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106479613 |archive-date=2020-10-28 |access-date=2012-01-30 |publisher=NPR}}{{Cite web |title=Palantir |url=http://www.foundersfund.com/palantir.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123102243/http://foundersfund.com/palantir.php |archive-date=2010-11-23 |access-date=2012-01-30 |publisher=Founders Fund}}{{Cite web |last=Rusli |first=Evelyn |date=2010-06-25 |title=Palantir: The Next Billion-Dollar Company Raises $90 Million |url=https://techcrunch.com/2010/06/25/palantir-the-next-billion-dollar-company-raises-90-million/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028133306/https://techcrunch.com/2010/06/25/palantir-the-next-billion-dollar-company-raises-90-million/ |archive-date=2020-10-28 |access-date=2012-01-30 |publisher=TechCrunch}}{{Cite web |date=2009-08-11 |title=Alexander Karp |url=http://www.charlierose.com/guest/view/6717 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120104202715/http://www.charlierose.com/guest/view/6717 |archive-date=2012-01-04 |access-date=2012-01-30 |publisher=Charlie Rose}}

A document leaked to TechCrunch revealed that Palantir's clients as of 2013 included at least twelve groups within the U.S. government, including the CIA, the DHS, the NSA, the FBI, the CDC, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Special Operations Command, the United States Military Academy, the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization and Allies, the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. However, at the time, the United States Army continued to use its own data analysis tool. Also, according to TechCrunch, the U.S. spy agencies such as the CIA and FBI were linked for the first time with Palantir software, as their databases had previously been siloed.

In September 2013, Palantir disclosed over $196 million in funding according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.{{Cite web |date=September 27, 2013 |title=Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities |url=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1321655/000132165513000002/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028133312/https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1321655/000132165513000002/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml |archive-date=October 28, 2020 |access-date=September 28, 2013 |publisher=The United States Securities and Exchange Commission}}{{Cite web |last=Cutler |first=Kim-Mai |title=Palantir Is Raising $197M In Growth Capital, SEC Filing Shows |date=28 September 2013 |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/09/27/palantir-197m-sec-filing/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028133316/https://techcrunch.com/2013/09/27/palantir-197m-sec-filing/ |archive-date=2020-10-28 |access-date=2017-06-25 |publisher=TechCrunch}} It was estimated that the company would likely close almost $1 billion in contracts in 2014.{{Cite news |last1=Greenberg |first1=Andy |last2=Mac |first2=Ryan |date=September 2, 2013 |title=How A 'Deviant' Philosopher Built Palantir, A CIA-Funded Data-Mining Juggernaut |work=Forbes |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/08/14/agent-of-intelligence-how-a-deviant-philosopher-built-palantir-a-cia-funded-data-mining-juggernaut/ |url-status=live |access-date=September 28, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150604110616/http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/08/14/agent-of-intelligence-how-a-deviant-philosopher-built-palantir-a-cia-funded-data-mining-juggernaut/ |archive-date=June 4, 2015}} CEO Alex Karp announced in 2013 that the company would not be pursuing an IPO, as going public would make "running a company like ours very difficult."

This raised the company's value to $9 billion, according to Forbes, with the magazine further explaining that the valuation made Palantir "among Silicon Valley’s most valuable private technology companies."

In December 2014, Forbes reported that Palantir was looking to raise $400 million in an additional round of financing, after the company filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission the month before. The report was based on research by VC Experts. If completed, Forbes stated Palantir's funding could reach a total of $1.2 billion.

In 2013, Cavicchia may have shared this information with Frank Bisignano who had become the CEO of First Data Corporation. Palantir Metropolis was succeeded by Palantir Foundry.{{Cite web |title=Data mining firm Palantir mocked idea of a sales staff; now it's hiring |url=https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=7631e2f4-d687-45ba-b8d9-0abd12b12e9d |access-date=2024-04-14 |website=enewspaper.latimes.com |archive-date=2024-08-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240830210435/https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=7631e2f4-d687-45ba-b8d9-0abd12b12e9d |url-status=live }}

Palantir Gotham is used by counter-terrorism analysts at offices in the United States Intelligence Community and United States Department of Defense, fraud investigators at the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, and cyber analysts at Information Warfare Monitor (responsible for the GhostNet and the Shadow Network investigation). Gotham was used by fraud investigators at the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, a former US federal agency which operated from 2009 to 2015.

Other clients as of 2013 included DHS, NSA, FBI, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, Special Operations Command, West Point, the Joint IED Defeat Organization and Allies. However, at the time the United States Army continued to use its own data analysis tool. Also, according to TechCrunch, "The U.S. spy agencies also employed Palantir to connect databases across departments. Before this, most of the databases used by the CIA and FBI were siloed, forcing users to search each database individually. Now everything is linked together using Palantir."

U.S. military intelligence used the Palantir product to improve their ability to predict locations of improvised explosive devices in its war in Afghanistan. A small number of practitioners reported it to be more useful than the United States Army's Program of Record, the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-A). California Congressman Duncan D.

In 2014, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) awarded Palantir a $41 million contract to build and maintain a new intelligence system called Investigative Case Management (ICM) to track personal and criminal records of legal and illegal immigrants. This application has originally been conceived by ICE's office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), allowing its users access to intelligence platforms maintained by other federal and private law enforcement entities. The system reached its "final operation capacity" under the Trump administration in September 2017.

The firm has contracts relating to patient data from the British National Health Service. In 2020, it was awarded an emergency non-competitive contract to mine COVID-19 patient data and consolidate government databases to help ministers and officials respond to the pandemic. The contract was valued at more than £23.5 million and was extended for two more years. The awarding of the contract without competition was heavily criticised, prompting the NHS to pledge an open and transparent procurement process for any future data contract.{{cite web |last1=Lewis |first1=Paul |last2=Conn |first2=David |last3=Pegg |first3=David |title=UK government using confidential patient data in coronavirus response |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/12/uk-government-using-confidential-patient-data-in-coronavirus-response |website=The Guardian |access-date=22 January 2024 |date=12 April 2020}}{{Cite web |last1=Times |first1=Byline |last2=Hencke |first2=David |date=2020-04-22 |title=Palantir Coronavirus Contract Did Not Go to Competitive Tender |url=https://bylinetimes.com/2020/04/22/palantir-coronavirus-contract-did-not-go-to-competitive-tender/ |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=Byline Times |language=en-GB |archive-date=2020-10-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201005142910/https://bylinetimes.com/2020/04/22/palantir-coronavirus-contract-did-not-go-to-competitive-tender// |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Commentary: We've won our lawsuit over UK govt's £23m NHS data deal with Palantir |url=https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/commentary-weve-won-our-lawsuit-over-uk-23m-nhs-data-deal-with-palantir/ |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=Business & Human Rights Resource Centre |language=en |archive-date=2023-04-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230414151009/https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/commentary-weve-won-our-lawsuit-over-uk-23m-nhs-data-deal-with-palantir/ |url-status=live }}

The Danish POL-INTEL predictive policing project has been operational since 2017 and is based on the Gotham system. According to the AP the Danish system "uses a mapping system to build a so-called heat map identifying areas with higher crime rates." The Gotham system has also been used by German state police in Hesse and Europol.

The Norwegian Customs is using Palantir Gotham to screen passengers and vehicles for control. Known inputs are prefiled freight documents, passenger lists, the national Currency Exchange database (tracks all cross-border currency exchanges), the Norwegian Welfare Administrations employer- and employee-registry, the Norwegian stock holder registry and 30 public databases from InfoTorg. InfoTorg provides access to more than 30 databases, including the Norwegian National Citizen registry, European Business Register, the Norwegian DMV vehicle registry, various credit databases etc. These databases are supplemented by the Norwegian Customs Departments own intelligence reports, including results of previous controls. The system is also augmented by data from public sources such as social media.{{cite news |title=Norwegian Customs implement new methods to catch smugglers |url=https://www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/dine-venner-og-nettbruk-kan-avgjore-om-du-stoppes-i-tollen/s/12-95-3423409135 |access-date=5 December 2021 |publisher=Nettavisen |date=24 January 2018 |archive-date=5 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211205175149/https://www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/dine-venner-og-nettbruk-kan-avgjore-om-du-stoppes-i-tollen/s/12-95-3423409135 |url-status=live }}

Concerns around Palantir's rights record were being scrutinized for contributing to human rights violations of asylum-seekers and migrants.{{Cite web |title=Failing To Do Right:The Urgent Need for Palantir to Respect Human Rights |url=https://www.amnestyusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Amnest-International-Palantir-Briefing-Report-092520_Final.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028133415/https://www.amnestyusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Amnest-International-Palantir-Briefing-Report-092520_Final.pdf |archive-date=28 October 2020 |access-date=28 September 2020 |website=Amnesty International}}{{Cite web |title=Amnesty International slams Palantir's human rights record |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/palantir-human-rights-record-amnesty-international/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028133416/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/palantir-human-rights-record-amnesty-international/ |archive-date=28 October 2020 |access-date=29 September 2020 |website=CBS News|date=29 September 2020 }}

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted tech companies to respond to growing demand for citizen information from governments in order to conduct contact tracing and to analyze patient data.{{cite web |last1=Muhlberg |first1=Byron |title=Privacy Advocates Calls for Transparency Over Use of Patient Data |url=https://www.cpomagazine.com/data-privacy/privacy-advocates-calls-for-transparency-over-use-of-patient-data/ |website=CPO Magazine |date=13 May 2020 |access-date=30 November 2020 |archive-date=24 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024091633/https://www.cpomagazine.com/data-privacy/privacy-advocates-calls-for-transparency-over-use-of-patient-data/ |url-status=live }} Consequently, data collection companies, such as Palantir, had been contracted to partake in pandemic data collection practices. Palantir's participation in "HHS Protect Now", a program launched by the United States Department of Health and Human Services to track the spread of the coronavirus, has attracted criticism from American lawmakers.{{cite news |last1=Albergotti |first1=Reed |title=Lawmakers call for more transparency in health agency's pandemic data collection practices |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/07/01/warren-hhs-data-collection/ |newspaper=Washington Post |date=1 July 2020 |access-date=30 November 2020 |archive-date=24 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201224194018/https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/07/01/warren-hhs-data-collection/ |url-status=live }}

Palantir's participation in COVID-19 response projects re-ignited debates over its controversial involvement in tracking illegal immigrants, especially its alleged effects on digital inequality and potential restrictions on online freedoms. Critics allege that confidential data acquired by HHS could be exploited by other federal agencies in unregulated and potentially harmful ways. Alternative proposals request greater transparency in the process to determine whether any of the data aggregated would be shared with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to single out illegal immigrants.

After protests from its employees, Google chose not to renew its contract with the Pentagon to work on Project Maven, a secret artificial intelligence program aimed at the unmanned operation of aerial vehicles. Palantir then took over the project. Critics warned that the technology could lead to autonomous weapons that decide who to strike without human input.
