SUMMARY

FULL DOSSIER
The CIA's venture capital arm (founded 1999), publicly acknowledged, with documented early stakes in Keyhole (became Google Earth), Palantir, and social-analytics firms. Its existence converts 'the agency invests in tech companies' from theory to portfolio. Links the platform-ops file and LifeLog-era timing questions.
