What it is: every position, stake, sponsor tie and "friend of the pod" the Moonshots with Peter Diamandis panel disclosed on tape across the five episodes read, in one table. On that show, disclosure is content: the panel's own purchases, boards and portfolio companies are the product demos.

Why it is in this archive

Because the show's material comes from its network more than from the press, the ledger of who is tied to what is the map of where the material comes from. It is also the thing to check before any of their claims is repeated: a number about a company a panelist funds is a claim from an interested party.

What the ledger says

  • The panel is long the things it reports on. SpaceX, NVIDIA-adjacent portfolio companies, agent tooling, Blitzy, the index. Optimism about the AI build-out is also a position.
  • The sponsors are inside the content. A sponsor's CEO has sat on the panel; a sponsor's funding round has run as a news segment followed by its own ad.
  • "Friend of the pod" is a sourcing credential. A survey from a friendly institution gets a slide.
  • None of this is hidden. They say it on tape, which is to their credit. The point is to read their numbers knowing it.

⚠️ Unverified

Everything here is as stated on tape or in the episode descriptions. Nothing is checked against filings or Form ADVs. Board seats and fund names in particular need a source before they are repeated in public copy.

Reading rule. Anything marked unverified or on-air is a claim made on the podcast and has not been checked against a primary source yet. It stays marked until it has. Sourced numbers link to where they came from.
