Defund Whatever

Find out who really owns the brands you buy, what the public record says about them, and how well they fit the things you care about. Point your camera at any product, or a whole shelf, and get an instant analysis of the brands behind it: who owns them, what they fund, and how they line up with your values. Who Owns That Indie Brand? Our ownership records cover more than 32,000 brands, plus a hand-checked list of popular US brands with a source and date on every entry. Burt's Bees is Clorox. Annie's is General Mills. Now you know before you buy. Backed by Public Records Every analysis draws on 17 public data sources: the company's own PAC giving (FEC), lobbying filings, EPA environmental violations, Department of Labor safety and wage cases, the U.S. forced-labor entity list, corporate ownership registries, published boycott lists, certifications (B Corp, USDA Organic, EPA Safer Choice), climate targets, and more. Every fact shows its source and date, and the source list marks which sources are verified and which are estimates. You Set the Values Choose what matters to you across 13 dimensions, including the environment, labor rights, LGBTQ+ support, animal welfare and political giving, or start from a preset profile (Progressive Activist, Conservative Values, Environmentalist, Human Rights Champion, and more). The same brand scores differently for different people, by design. Your match score is calculated from the public record and your own settings, and the app shows where a brand ranks among the brands we've rated for your values ("Top 12% for your values"). It works whatever your politics are.
