Jeffrey Epstein Co-Owned Venture Capital Fund With Palantir’s Peter Thiel

Jeffrey Epstein co-owned a venture capital fund controlled by Peter Thiel, founder of spytech firm Palantir which is now deeply embedded in the British state.

The latest Epstein files drop from the US Ministry of Justice shows that billionaire Thiel maintained a business relationship with Epstein from 2014 to the paedophile’s final arrest in 2019.

Email exchanges show Thiel repeatedly arranging to meet with Epstein after the latter’s conviction for child sex offences and cultivating a relationship of scheduled meals, calls and linkups.

As co-owner of Thiel’s firm Valar Ventures, a venture capital fund co-founded by Thiel to invest in fintech and financial services companies around the world, Epstein received “confidential” and “time-sensitive” investment opportunities, according to the latest files release.

Palantir holds more than £670m in UK government contracts, including NHS patient data, Ministry of Defence operations, police intelligence databases and nuclear weapons management.

Labour grandee and former UK ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson leaked sensitive UK secrets to Epstein between 2009 and 2010 – and later aligned himself with Thiel’s Palantir.

Palantir hired Mandelson’s lobbying firm Global Counsel to help it secure UK government contracts in 2018.

According to a Byline Times investigation, this occurred at the same time that Epstein was operating as an active Valar Ventures partner, receiving sensitive and exclusive investment opportunities marked “super confidential”.

In February 2025, UK prime minister Keir Starmer visited Palantir in Washington DC along with then-ambassador Mandelson. The visit was set up by the embassy and there is no record of what was discussed.

Palantir has been a key big tech player in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, providing the Israeli military with advanced AI tools to facilitate the deaths of Palestinians.
