#32Check out their SEC filings: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CI... Insiders are selling shares to private wealth management firms / asset management firms. It's amazing how much hype can do in the private finance world when you have the perception of momentum and herd mentality.

According to this form, Morgan Stanley charges 25M to arrange a sale of 50M. Is there something behind this, or is this normal?

#33This sounds more like a leaked Palantir press release; but then again, that's pretty much what a prospectus is. > "It’s the combination of every analytical tool you could ever dream of." > The Pentagon used the software to track patterns in roadside bomb deployment and was able to conclude that garage-door openers were being used as remote detonators. > With Palantir, the Marines are now able to upload DNA samples fr…
Yeah they probably just can't disclose this 'confidential' stuff as a company in a normal press release. So they had to act like it was a Snowden-style leak which just happened to make them look awesome.

"Every new contract requires dozen extra people."
I've heard this as well. They essentially hire customer-facing engineers to go out and scope specific contracts and literally implement custom solutions with small generic software frameworks they developed in house.

There are a few other sales where there are 0 fees. So likely they "don't charge" for those and put all of the fees in a single filing.

On one hand, it is true they deploy people to implement the software.
On the other hand, the customer has results after 6-8 weeks. How much software can really be built in that sort of time frame? Not much...
In my opinion Palantir is a product company, but the product is deeply integrated in to an enterprise. And doing that takes time and people.

Well, they do actually have a product but it's my understanding that almost every purchase requires a set of engineers to integrate it. So I dunno if you could call it a consulting company but there is truth to this.

Hey, if it was the 80s/90s I'd call them Oracle.
One other thing to note is that while they build these custom solutions, the second you touch their stuff that support policy goes out the window, not unlike what Oracle does.
