Alex Karp: The Unconventional Tech Visionary

Free profile of Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp by Peter Westberg for Quartr, covering his background, leadership style and Palantir's move from niche defence contractor to a large listed company. Published 8 May 2024, updated 24 September 2025.

Why I recommend it: Quartr sells tools to investors, so this reads as a business profile rather than a critical examination of what Palantir's software is used for. Pair it with reporting from outside the investing world.

Books Worth Reading

The Technological Republic (book site)

Official site for The Technological Republic by Palantir co-founder Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska, arguing that Silicon Valley abandoned work of national consequence. The site is free to browse and lists press coverage and every retailer.

Why I recommend it: The site is free; the book is not — it is sold in hardcover, ebook and audio, so borrow it from a library if you can. Read it as an argument from a man whose company sells software to defense and intelligence agencies, because the book is making the case for that industry.
