"We did a speed run from April to June. We designed the curriculum, recruited faculty, reviewed applications, brought on the fellows, and arranged housing."
"The inaugural four-month Meritocracy Fellowship drew over 500 applicants for 22 salaried spots. Fellows completed intensive training, used Palantir's software, and worked alongside full-time employees."
"A significant share of participants have already been offered further internships. Palantir has long invested in early-career talent and converted internship candidates into permanent employees."
"The latest push is aggressive: three new fellowships, plus the Valley Forge Grant, which pays high schoolers $10,000 to spend the summer using Palantir tools to solve a problem that most inspires them."
