The Who's their Buddy? Graph
A live, interactive map of the most controversial AI companies and the people and investors behind them — from frontier labs and surveillance to weapons, crypto-AI, and the PayPal Mafia.
Interactive relationship graph
Companies, people, and investor firms appear as nodes; edges show CEO, founder, board, investor, partnership, feud, spinout, and acquisition links. Hover a line to see the relationship type, hover a node to focus its neighborhood, click to open a profile.
Sized by valuation & AUM
Company nodes scale by valuation (logarithmic). Investor nodes scale by assets under management. At a glance you can see who's actually moving the market.
Color-coded by category
Each company is colored by its category — frontier-labs, surveillance, weapons, crypto-AI, chips, autonomy, robotics, defense, scraping, synthetic. The "Cluster by category" toggle physically groups them in space.
Filters & toggles
Toggle Companies / People / Investors independently. Search by name or category. Cluster mode rearranges the graph into category groups.
Live news per profile
Every company, person, and investor profile auto-fetches the latest news via Firecrawl, with the published date shown so you know it's fresh.
