"Palantir moves headquarters to Miami and joins growing tech exodus to
Florida"
"Palantir announced Tuesday it has moved its headquarters from Denver to
Miami – joining a slew of tech firms fleeing to South Florida as a
growing number of industry leaders deem it the new Silicon Valley.
Tech giants have been increasingly flocking to Florida from business hubs
like New York and California in pursuit of lower taxes, warm weather and
safer neighborhoods.
“We have moved our headquarters to Miami, Florida,” Palantir wrote in a
brief post on X Tuesday morning.

The company did not immediately respond to inquiries about its reason for
the move.
Palantir was founded in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2003 and moved to Denver in
2020 as its CEO Alex Karp emerged as a vocal critic of Silicon Valley’s
culture.
Former Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who has long pushed for tech talent to
move to Florida, cheered Tuesday’s “watershed moment for Miami.”
“This is the tipping point!” he wrote on X, using numerous exclamation
points.

Citadel’s Ken Griffin and real estate magnate Stephen Ross – some of the
highest-profile billionaires to move to South Florida during the pandemic
– recently launched a $10 million campaign to encourage business leaders
to move to the Sunshine State, The Post reported.
“The only place a CEO or founder can scale from 10 employees to 10,000
will be in South Florida,” Ross previously told The Post. “While other
cities are still special, they no longer support building business and
supporting ambition like you can find here.”
The campaign targets CEOs and investors with national ads and direct
outreach, as well as a dedicated concierge program that can help
executives relocate operations and navigate state regulations.

Billionaire Peter Thiel – Palantir’s chairman and co-founder – has ramped
up his investments in South Florida, opening a new Miami office for his
investment firm Thiel Capital late last year.
His venture capital firm Founders Fund opened a Florida office in 2021,
near his Miami Beach mansion, and the businessman has even switched his
voter registration to Florida.
Citadel’s Griffin – who lived in Chicago for nearly three decades – was
one of the most outspoken business leaders to vouch for Miami after his
2022 move.
“I’ve lived in a failed city-state. I lived in Chicago for 30-some years.
I had two colleagues who had bullets fly through their cars,” Griffin
previously told Fox News.
“I had 25 bullet holes in the front of my building where I lived. You
can’t live in a city awash [with] violent crime."
