I’m proud to announce that we’ve raised $61 million from top investors like A* and Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate our work in building America’s privacy-focused mobile service.

At Palantir, where I started in technical roles more than 10 years ago, I learned about a wide array of vulnerabilities in the cellular network that present a threat not only to mission-focused organizations in government, but also to everyday people. I came to see mobile phones — and the networks that power them — as perhaps the largest risks to our privacy and security.

If you told Americans twenty years ago that corporations and governments would conspire to attach powerful tracking devices to nearly every adult worldwide, it would’ve sounded like science fiction. And yet, that’s not far from where we are today.

John Doyle, CEO and Founder of Cape, ran the national security business at Palantir and served in the U.S. Army Special Forces as a Green Beret.
