Alex Moore, the first Palantir Technologies employee and its former director of operations, has joined 8VC as an operating partner, Axios has learned.

After leaving Palantir in 2010, Moore co-founded NodePrime, a cloud automation company acquired last year by Ericsson, and also has been an active angel investor. 8VC is led by Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir before becoming a full-time venture capitalist.
