Show HN: A visualization map of the funding of public companies
I made this webapp (vibecoded) with Meta's AI models during the Meta AI hackathon that just ended (Oct 26-Nov 4). So far it contains public 33,000 companies, and 100k+ 'flows'. A company X has a flow to another company Y if X funds Y or owns its shares, or vice versa. It collects business data from SEC's EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval), Wikidata company lists, and other regional company indices of Europe and Asia to build a database of companies to display on the map.

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 1 votes (Nov 9, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication) Recent records to compare: “Show HN: FetchIndex – cost calculator for 19 scraping and search APIs” (Show HN, Nov 9, 2026); “Show HN: Negs (Spektrafilm) brings spectral film simulations to the browser” (Show HN, Nov 9, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
