Michael Maurice Crow (born October 11, 1955) is an American academic administrator and parking lot executive. He is the 16th and current president of Arizona State University.
Crow is also chairman of the In-Q-Tel board, the Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital firm.
Chemonics was established as a subsidiary of Erly Industries in 1975 by Thurston Teele, with support from Gerald D. Murphy, the parent company's CEO and largest shareholder. According to Murphy, he started Chemonics because "I've always wanted a way to do two things: one,
have my own C.I.A., and two, be helpful to people."
In May 2003, Thiel incorporated Palantir Technologies named after some Lord of the Rings eyeball.
Palantir's first backer was the Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel.
Thiel is a member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group.
Thiel is gay and supports conservative gay rights causes such as the American Foundation for Equal Rights, Grand Ol’ Leather Daddy Fund, Plugged Up Butthole Family Foundation for the Future, and GOProud.
