Yes, but...
They also have one of the most profitable business models the world has ever seen.
Their RPE (revenue per employee) is roughly $1mm and growing at a 50% YoY rate...
They heavily use technology as leverage for insane margin growth. 90% rule of 40 as well.
- elliotto 1y agoYeah turns out leeching off the surveillance state makes heaps of money. Great business model

- lantry 1y ago> shall I say mostly of particular gender You must be referring to the fact that 72% of our elected officials are male?
- Delphiza 1y agoUpvoted. I would assume so, because male politicians like buying guns and stuff. They need data to know where to point them.
- jesterson 1y ago[flagged]
- lantry 1y agoThen maybe you should make your point openly, instead of this stupid dogwhistle. Are you saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote?
- jesterson 1y ago> Are you saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote? The few comments you have left under this conversation serving it way better than all points I ever made (if I ever made the points to that, shall be added as a disclaimer). It's sort of funny you even fail to see that.
- lantry 1y agoClassic bad-faith troll response. You refuse to openly state your position, because you know deep down that it is despicable and indefensible. I am against the surveillance state, but I am not weak, gullible, or lazy enough to believe that it is somehow the result of women's suffrage. The two are not related, and your inability to untangle them shows that misogyny is more important to you than freedom.
- jesterson 1y agoNormally I wouldn't dignify that with a response, but just to put a final dot I'll share a few things. Speaking of openly stating a position - sapienti sat. Can't see how more open it can be, but it's certainly not of everyones capacity to have ability to comprehend a thought. Fully aware of that. For the rest of your comment - if you kind enough to pardon me for giving unsolicited advice - if I were you i would rather try not to manifest your insecurities but rather work on them, or at least do not show them in civilized discussions, which we all would like to have here on HN. And certainly would be great if we can keep your fantasies like misogyny and sorts out of the discussion. Dixi.

- jesterson 1y agoSpot on.
- lantry 1y agoDon't be afraid to say what you believe! let's bring this out in the open. you're saying that women shouldn't be allowed to vote? I feel so sorry for you people. You need to find some constructive way to deal with your issues, instead of blaming your insecurities on women.
- elliotto 1y agoI've made a lot of baiting internet comments in my time, but not in my wildest imagination did I expect a response to my comment mocking Palantir to be anti-women's suffrage.
- qaq 1y agoand yet they made a monstorus 214 mil in Q1 and Accenture Plc: $2.2 billion
- anon191928 1y ago$1MM is nothing if you compare that to Valve or Hyperliquid. so yeah not the top of chain
- cowpig 1y agoHow much of their revenue is from government contracts? Is their profitable business model based on the fact that they're good at enabling & profiting from authoritarianism and corruption?
- throwforfeds 1y ago> Their RPE (revenue per employee) is roughly $1mm and growing at a 50% YoY rate... Meanwhile OnlyFans is at something like $30mm per employee, which is wild.
- eCa 1y ago> Meanwhile OnlyFans is at something like $30mm per employee Revenue 2023: $1.30 billion[1] Employees: ~1000 So they are at Palantir levels, which still is wild. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyFans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyFans
- Jolter 1y agoI’m pretty sure that is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Most of the people producing value for OnlyFans are not employed at (or contractors for) OnlyFans. I’m sure other gig platforms also do really well ”per employee”. A comparison between them and Palantir makes little sense to me.
- 1oooqooq 1y agoneither is palantir.
- Temporary_31337 1y agoHave you looked at companies such as Jane's? Overall bigger market cap and RPE orders of magintude higher - don't fall for hype like everyone else, or at least check the numbers before saying 'most profitable', they are not even close.
- oinfoalgo 1y agoThey also are one of the most overvalued companies of all time right now. The business model was completely stagnating before LLMs. They are cashing in on the rush for large firms to wrangle data for LLMs but the entire concept of large firms and FDE has obvious scaling issues.
- insane_dreamer 1y agoYeah basically like Deloitte or BCG but with better, well paid engineers (instead of trying to outsource everything overseas to save $)
