# Palantir Events Index of discrete events that touch [[Palantir]]. The **canonical pages live in `/Events/`** (and deals in `/Deals/`) — this is a curated index that links to them, flags gaps to fill, and grows over time as new beats from the [[Palantir Calendar]] mature into events. > **Boundary rule (same as the dossier):** one fact, one home. Events live in `/Events/`, deals/contracts in `/Deals/`. This page never duplicates them — it points to them. The lifecycle is: [[Palantir Calendar]] → [[Palantir Watch Log]] → `/Events/` page → indexed here. ## Core Palantir events (in /Events/) - [[Palantir Founding]] — May 2003; incorporation by the five founders; In-Q-Tel seed - [[Palantir IPO]] — Sept 30, 2020; NYSE direct listing (PLTR); Class F founder control made public - [[Palantir 22-Point Manifesto]] — Apr 19, 2026; the "technofascist" manifesto distilling [[The Technological Republic]] - [[Palantir v.

Indexed here because the ledger otherwise cannot see it. ## Gaps to fill Candidates still to build: - **DOGE collaboration (2025)** — currently covered via [[DOGE Establishment]] + [[DOGE-Palantir Nexus]]; assess whether a standalone Palantir-specific event page is warranted (Listed as plain text deliberately — to-create, not a live link. Palantir Founding and Palantir IPO were filled in on 2026-06-24 and now appear in Core events above.) ## See Also - [[Palantir]] — company page - [[Palantir Dossier]] — dossier front door - [[Palantir Calendar]] — forward-looking beats - [[Palantir Watch Log]] — running feed - [[Events Hub]]
