Not NSA, but the CIA funds and operates In-Q-Tel[1]. They've funded companies like Palantir and Keyhole (which became Google Earth).

I should have done my research, but I walked away from an accepted offer at a company once I found out they took money from In-Q-Tel.

  • How do you find stuff like this in general? I would love to limit my business to entities I know haven't dealt with other entities I consider suspect, but I don't know how to actually do this filtering.
