# Companies Hub Master hub for the `/Companies/` folder — for-profit corporate entities: defense-tech firms, financial institutions, crypto outfits, media corporations, tech platforms, and the family-controlled businesses that anchor the ecosystem. For non-profits, advocacy groups, think tanks, and PACs, see the [[Organizations Hub]] instead; for the transactions these companies make, see the [[Deals Hub]]. ## Active monitoring A small set of core companies are under continuous, OSINT-level coverage — with dossier folders and watch logs. See the [[Companies Watchlist Hub]] for the super-watch list and how elevation works. ## Sector MOCs Industry-level maps live in `/Companies/Sectors/` — each one surveys a sector's corporate landscape, its political hooks, and the vault's coverage gaps: - [[AI Sector]] — frontier labs, the datacenter buildout, and the Leading the Future spending machine - [[Biotech Sector]] — the MAHA squeeze on pharma vs. the tech right's longevity/enhancement buildout - [[Carceral and Border Security Sector]] — the detention duopoly, the camps, and the deportation surveillance stack - [[Chipmakers Sector]] — the semiconductor supply chain and its geopolitical chokepoints - [[Defense Primes Sector]] — the legacy military-industrial complex vs the venture-backed challengers - [[Commercial Space Sector]] — the launch oligopoly, Golden Dome money, and the militarize-and-privatize turn - [[Cryptocurrency Sector]] — exchanges, stablecoins, and the industry that bought its regulator - [[Energy Sector]] — energy dominance, the AI power crunch, and Texas oil money's political pipeline - [[Fintech Sector]] — the challenger layer that spent fifteen years insisting it wasn't a bank, then applied to become one - [[Prediction Markets and Gambling Sector]] — the betting duopoly, the CFTC end-run, and casino money in politics - [[Private Equity Sector]] — the extraction layer: buyouts, private credit, and the politics that protect them - [[Quantum Computing Sector]] — a pre-revenue industry priced on national-security anxiety ## Political media buyers The private firms through which 2026-midterm independent-expenditure advertising is placed. They appear only as payee lines on FEC Form 24 notices, have no disclosure obligations of their own, and are in most cases entirely unreported. Rule adopted **2026-10-05**: a buyer load-bearing on **three or more committees** gets a page. - [[Flexpoint Media]] — broadcast; 6 committees, including 85.1% of [[Texas PAC]]'s spending - [[Waterfront Strategies]] — broadcast; 5 committees, the Democratic-side counterpart - [[Del Ray Media LLC]] — broadcast; 4 committees across four layers of the Republican party - [[MHB Media Inc]] — broadcast, radio and connected TV; 3 committees, and the buyer behind the mirrored-pair invoicing pattern - [[C Plus K LLC]] — 4 committees, and the only buyer in the vault with clients on both sides - [[Minute Mail Consulting Group LLC]] — direct mail; 4 committees, the channel ad-tracking cannot see ## Reference data - [[Size of Companies by Number of Employees]] — approximate headcounts across the AI and defense-tech rosters (42 companies as of mid-2026); mirrors each company page's `employees` frontmatter field ## Where companies are mapped by sphere Companies are collected into cross-cutting sphere maps in the [[Ecosystems Hub]] — most directly the [[Defense Tech Ecosystem]], [[Media Ecosystem]], and [[Dark Money Ecosystem]]. Family-controlled firms also appear in the [[Dynasties Hub]]. ## Related hubs - [[Deals Hub]] — mergers, acquisitions, settlements, and contracts - [[Organizations Hub]] — the non-profit / advocacy counterpart - [[People Hub]] — founders, executives, and board figures
