> FedRAMP is essentially a Palantir tax, where nearly every startup hoping to sell to government (including larger ones like Anthropic, xAI, Cognition AND OpenAI) is forced to pay Palantir to deploy in their FedRAMP enclave

Having been through FedRAMP twice, I can this is absolute fiction. What does Palantir have to do with anything?

Palantir FedStart is a new program, and a quick look at the FedRAMP marketplace will show you there are literally 0 tech startups listed that are there without jumping on Palantir’s ATO. I find it difficult to believe you have been through FedRAMP twice but would declare something as ‘absolute fiction’ when it can be easily proven
We obtained an ATO in our own right, which is slow but otherwise really not that hard.
