An AI startup that Palantir has sued for allegedly poaching its workers and stealing company secrets has denied the allegations and asserted in a legal filing Monday that Palantir is trying to “scare others away from leaving.”
Percepta, an AI company launched by two ex-Palantir employees and owned by venture firm General Catalyst, disputed Palantir’s claims that it violated noncompetition agreements.
“In truth, Palantir is looking to scare others away from leaving and destroy Percepta before it can grow further,” lawyers for the startup said in the filing.
In October, Palantir sued Percepta, alleging its two co-founders—Hirsh Jain and Radha Jain (no relation)—had stolen trade secrets and violated their nonsolicitation agreements.
