In-Q-Tel's portfolio logic has always been "map everything people will willingly walk to." Keyhole became Google Earth, Palantir got early funding, and the pattern is consistent — fund the infrastructure of ambient surveillance before it's called surveillance. Pokémon Go is just the most legible example because the data collection was dressed as fun.

The tell is always the same: the application is consumer, the underlying asset is dual-use. Nobody questions the mapping company when millions of people are catching Pikachu.
