IQT (In-Q-Tel)

Today, we're proud to highlight another exciting IQT 25 for 25 company! In 2003, IQT invested in Keyhole, a company providing an entirely new way to interact with Earth imagery and data, allowing users to see and manipulate 3D geographic environments. It was later acquired by Google and became the foundational technology behind Google Earth. #IQTat25

Happy Independence Day from all of us at IQT! Today, we celebrate the spirit of freedom, unity, and resilience that defines our nation.

As part of IQT's 25th anniversary celebration, we're going to spotlight an IQT portfolio company every week for the next 25 weeks! 🎉 Let the countdown begin... To start off, we're turning back the clock to 2001 when IQT invested in SRD. Originally called NORA and built to protect casinos, the company provided identity recognition software to gain a greater than 360-degree view of individuals to better identify business opportunities and potential threats. SRD was acquired by IBM in 2005 and was rebranded to IBM Identity Insight. More than 23 years later, their technology continues to deliver impact to both commercial and government customers. #IQTat25

Happy Juneteenth!   Today, we celebrate the day that the last African American slaves in Galveston Bay and across Texas were notified they had been freed - two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. At IQT, we recognize the significance of this day and reaffirm our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.   Let’s take this opportunity to reflect on our history, honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, and continue our journey toward a more just and equitable society.   #Juneteenth #DiversityandInclusion
