The CIA's not-for-profit venture-capital arm (founded 1999) that invests in commercial technology of interest to U.S. intelligence. It was Palantir's first outside investor (~2005) - the seed that turned a rejected Silicon Valley startup into the intelligence community's data-analysis backbone. The clearest institutional bridge between the CIA and the commercial tech sector.
