In-Q-Tel, founded by the CIA in 1999, has invested in over 800 companies, funding technologies later used for mass surveillance. Its portfolio includes Palantir ($250B valuation), Keyhole Inc (became Google Earth), and Anduril. Much of its investment goes into data mining tools that collect and analyze social media data from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to monitor activists and 'decision-makers.' A Wall Street Journal investigation found nearly half of In-Q-Tel's trustees had financial connections to funded companies. Some investments remain classified.
