Palantir Is Building The Next AWS, Says Top Exec: Urges Startups To Build On PLTR To Tackle 'More Valuable' Problems Than Amazon Solved
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) is positioning itself as the next Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Web Services, according to a senior executive who believes the data analytics company offers superior solutions for complex enterprise problems. What Happened: Ted Mabrey, Global Head of Commercial at Palantir, said on X Tuesday that his company is 'building the next AWS' and urged entrepreneurs to leverage Palantir's platform rather than compete with it. 'If you want to build the next Palantir, you should build it on Palantir,' Mabrey wrote. The executive's comments came in response to Brendan Falk, founder and CEO of a Stealth Startup, who announced his company was pivoting away from enterprise artificial intelligence transformations after struggling with implementation challenges. Falk cited lengthy sales cycles, complex system integrations, and high maintenance costs as primary obstacles. Trending: GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — Mabrey argued that Palantir has already solved these fundamental problems through years of specialized development. 'All the lessons in the thread are definitely true and the problems that we have beaten our heads against a wall solving with very talented people in a very specialized environment for a very long time,' he stated. Why It Matters: When asked about specific unsolved problems more valuable than those AWS addressed, Mabrey responded with a single word: 'Ontology.' In AI terminology, ontology refers to structured frameworks that help machines interpret and reason about data, mirroring human understanding. Palantir has been aggressively expanding its commercial partnerships, recently announcing strategic alliances with SAP SE and Divergent Technologies. CEO Alex Karp highlighted the 'extremely valuable' combination of Palantir's Ontology and Foundry platforms with enterprise data systems. The company's stock has surged 426% over the past year, closing Tuesday at $136.32. However, investors face valuation risks, with price-to-sales ratios between 80-105x and forward P/E multiples exceeding 300x. Mabrey emphasized that Palantir's technological foundation enables startups to focus on higher-value problems rather than rebuilding basic infrastructure. 'Really all of the value is in the problems we haven't gotten to yet,' he concluded. Read Next: $100k+ in investable assets?

Bolt and Palantir usher in new era of intelligent e-commerce at the checkout
Bolt, a leading checkout technology company, and Palantir Technologies Inc., a leading provider of AI software, today announced a strategic partnership to usher in a new era of intelligent ecommerce checkout—one that's personalized, dynamic and deeply informed by data. 0 Checkout 2.0, a self-learning, self-improving checkout, replaces today's static, form-based flows with an adaptive, real-time system that responds to each shopper's unique preferences, behaviors and context. Rather than displaying the same interface to every shopper, Checkout 2.0 delivers personalized flows that evolve with the user—prioritizing preferred payment methods, remembering prior selections and surfacing relevant information at just the right time. "Operational integration of Bolt and Palantir reduces friction for shoppers and complexity for merchants while providing a foundation to accelerate retail into the age of AI," said Ted Mabrey, Palantir's Global Head of Commercial. "This partnership brings together the scale and shopper intelligence of Bolt's platform with Palantir's proven decisioning systems to deliver superior outcomes across every transaction. Checkout 2.0 represents the best of both worlds—and the future of commerce personalization." Bolt will leverage Palantir's platform to help scale Checkout 2.0 across enterprise retailers and expand it within Bolt's recently launched SuperApp—an all-in-one finance and crypto hub that delivers real-time shopper signals. As both platforms evolve, Checkout 2.0 will bring deeper personalization and intelligence to every phase of the buying journey. "Our partnership with Palantir addresses one of the biggest challenges in modern commerce: turning mountains of shopper data into real-time, actionable intelligence," said Ryan Breslow, Founder & CEO of Bolt. "Together, we're tackling outdated, one-size-fits-all checkout experiences and replacing them with a smarter, more adaptive flow that actually responds to individual preferences and behavior. Merchants gain powerful optimization tools to improve conversion and payment efficiency, while shoppers benefit from a faster, more personalized journey. This is not just an upgrade—it's a reimagining of what online checkout can be." Over the last decade, Bolt has accumulated a wealth of intelligence regarding shopper behavior and preferences from its Universal Shopper Network of more than 80 million U.S. shoppers. Through this partnership, Bolt will integrate Palantir's advanced decisioning engine to dynamically adapt checkout flows and enable smarter, contextually aware logic. For example, a shopper who frequently buys beauty products on their mobile device and prefers Apple Pay will see a checkout flow that automatically prioritizes Apple Pay, highlights relevant upsells and surfaces loyalty features—without requiring them to re-enter information or navigate away. These adaptive experiences are designed to eliminate friction and boost conversion. Merchants will also benefit from intelligent post-checkout payment routing. Checkout 2.0 will evaluate transaction attributes—such as volume, category or geography—and select the optimal payment gateway to maximize authorization rates and reduce processing costs. This behind-the-scenes intelligence delivers better margins and a smoother experience. Checkout 2.0's architecture includes: Self-learning shopper profiles that adapt over time based on usage, behavior and purchase history. Dynamic payment method reordering based on shopper preferences and device. Post-checkout routing optimization to improve processing economics in real time. Native crypto payment support, reinforcing Bolt's commitment to flexibility and future-facing payment infrastructure.
