Steep mountain peak in winter - Northslope Technologies

Who We Are

As former Palantirians, we founded Northslope to be a different kind of professional services company. When we talked to Foundry customers, they were frustrated by the lack of a third-party service provider that operated with the same capabilities and velocity as Palantir.

Northslope is that services firm.

We are a team of Palantir alumni who share a love of challenging problems and have deep experience delivering enterprise-grade solutions at uncommon speed. We share the disruptive startup DNA that built Foundry and AIP,  and we bring that relentless pursuit of excellence to every customer engagement.

How We Work

We take pride in being more like a tech startup than a traditional services firm. We value velocity, ingenuity, and grit, and we relentlessly focus on delivering outcomes.

Leadership

Bill Ward CEO of Northslope Technologies
Bill Ward
Founder & CEO

Bill founded Northslope because too few Palantir customers have access to implementation services that operate with the speed and ROI Foundry & AIP were built to deliver.

At Palantir, Bill led customer engagements and product teams, delivering complex solutions for some of Palantir’s largest commercial and defense customers around the world, while helping scale engineering hiring through Palantir’s hypergrowth. At Enigma, he created and led the forward-deployed Field Product organization, building tailored machine learning products for Fortune 100 customers. Most recently, Bill served as COO of Biofire, a hardware company that designed, built, and brought the world’s first fully-integrated Smart Gun to market, revolutionizing home handgun safety.

Bill is a startup advisor and angel investor, and lives in Denver, CO with his wife Maddy and their dog, Zodi.
