Alex Karp: Dyslexia Powers Palantir to 415B Success

Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp recently revealed his lifelong struggle with dyslexia.

At the NY Times DealBook Summit, Karp shared: If you are massively dyslexic, you cannot play a playbook. There is no playbook a dyslexic can master. And therefore we learn to think freely.
