"Most
of the people in our database don’t publish profiles of their various
business, nonprofit and political affiliations. We list top government
and political figures, as well as board members of Fortune 1000
companies, major nonprofits and influential colleges. We show lobbyists,
campaign contributions and family relationships of the famous and
influential, along with the infamous and criminally charged. We also
profile Hollywood celebs and pop culture icons. Occasionally, we map
fictional characters such as
Harry Potter."
