Palantir CEO Alex Karp is backing a new defense technology startup launched by former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, a venture aimed at turning Ukraine's battlefield experience into technology that can be used by Kyiv and allied countries.
In a video posted by Fedorov on X, Karp said the venture could transform Ukraine's wartime knowledge into products for other countries. "You and your colleagues are launching a company that I think will be defining for the world," Karp said, adding that it could bring Ukraine's knowledge and experience of warfare "as a product to allied countries."
