# Joe Lonsdale Events Index of discrete events that touch [[Joe Lonsdale]]. The **canonical pages live in `/Events/`** (and deals in `/Deals/`) — this is a curated index that links to them and flags gaps. > **Boundary rule:** one fact, one home. This page never duplicates `/Events/` or `/Deals/` — it points to them. ## Founding events - [[Palantir Founding]] — May 2003 (co-founder) - [[8VC]] founding; [[Addepar]] / [[OpenGov]] foundings - [[University of Austin]] launch (2021) - [[Erebor]] launch (2025) — see [[Joe Lonsdale Holdings]] ## Network / oversight events - [[Dialog Society]] membership leak (June 2026) - [[Epirus]] / [[Saronic Technologies]] contract milestones via the 8VC Build program ## Receipts - [[Joe Lonsdale - loser generation]] ## Gaps to fill (no /Events/ page yet) - A standalone `/Events/` page for the [[University of Austin]] founding - An `/Events/` page (or `/Deals/`) for the [[Erebor]] charter approval when it lands - The [[Cicero Institute]] founding as an organization milestone ## See Also - [[Joe Lonsdale Calendar]] — look-ahead - [[Joe Lonsdale News Log]] — look-back feed - [[Joe Lonsdale Dossier]]
