The American Tech Fellowship for Veterans
New Year, new cohorts—same mission.
Just seven months ago, I announced the first cohort of the American Tech Fellowship (ATF).
Now ATF is back. New year, new cohorts—same mission. And I’m especially excited about our first opportunity of the year. Now through February 2, Palantir invites all veterans to apply for a new mission in the AI age: the American Tech Fellowship for Veterans (ATF-V).
I founded the American Tech Fellowship last year to identify and unlock talent that other companies ignored: builders with unconventional resumes. Patriots who want to use AI to strengthen the country... not to flood it with slop and other digital opiates.
ATF is about creating the cadres for America’s comeback—and it’s been a smash success. Thousands have applied. Two cohorts of American Tech Fellows have graduated after intensive training on Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform. They’ve participated in hackathons in Detroit. Heard from top leaders and engineers at Palantir. Made invaluable friends and business partners in their cohorts. The best have even landed jobs at Palantir and our customers.
Our ATF cohorts already have been packed with veterans, and it’s obvious why. They’re down with the mission. They’re not afraid of hard quests. And they know viscerally that having the best technology can be the difference between mission success and failure—sometimes the difference between life and death.
So now we’re launching an ATF cohort just for military personnel: veterans, active-duty, reservists—all those who have served. The cohort will have ~50 spots for a 12-week virtual training course taught by elite Palantirians. Top graduates will have a chance to interview for jobs at Palantir and our customers on the front lines of implementing AI in critical industries like defense, healthcare, and manufacturing.
America’s warfighters are the best in the world and AI is the most powerful tool in the world. Combine the two and the result will be a renaissance for this country. ATF-V is about unleashing that revolution.
Will you be a part of that mission?
Applications for the American Tech Fellowship for Veterans run through February 2. The fellowship begins March 2, 2026. Learn more, share with veterans you know, and APPLY today.
