I feel like Alex Karp doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how boldly he stood with Israel after October 7.
The next day, October 8, Palantir took out a full-page ad in The New York Times:
“Palantir stands with Israel.”
At a moment when most CEOs were saying as little as possible, Karp chose to make his position unmistakable.
And he didn’t stop at words.
Palantir sent engineers to Israel, brought its board to Tel Aviv, and continued supporting Israel’s defense.
That took conviction.
And it paid off! stock is up 1100% in 3 years.
