Inner ring = the 46 root figures. Each ring outward = one level deeper. Hover any slice for name, type, child count, and a preview of its descendants. Click to zoom in; click the center label to zoom out. Leaf-slice click → opens that node in the spider web.
Dots placed by founding year. Each row = one node type. Dot size = how connected. Hover for name, click for details.

Find the path between any two nodes

How is anyone in this web connected to anyone else? Pick two nodes (people, funds, or companies) and see the shortest chain. Direction-agnostic — follows edges either way.
Try: Bill Gates → Vitalik Buterin  ·  Jeff Bezos → OpenAI  ·  Jessica Livingston → JD Vance  ·  Zuckerberg → Anduril  ·  Hoffman → Trump 2.0
Enter two nodes and click Find path, or click an example above.
A small group at the top (Level 0 roots) → larger ones below as influence flows down. Each tier's width is proportional to its node count. Connecting curves show parent → child relationships. Hover any node or band for details. Click any node to open in spider web.
