Palantir credits tiny sales team for explosive quarter
Palantir posted $1.9B in quarterly revenue (up 93% YoY) and $1.1B in profit, with US commercial revenue hitting a record $764M (149% YoY, 28% QoQ) and total US revenue at $1.6B (up 115%). CEO Alex Karp credited the surge to a tiny, shrinking sales team—roughly 70 salespeople with only seven actively selling—and an annualized revenue per employee around $1.5M, illustrating a trend toward AI-enabled Tiny Teams that boost growth with lean headcount.
