Direct peers

• OpenCorporates: OpenCorporates is the largest open database of companies and corporate networks globally. It is directly comparable to Poderopedia as a relational transparency platform mapping legal entities and the people behind them, serving journalists, regulators, and researchers.
• LittleSis: LittleSis is a free database mapping the power networks of US business and political elites, originally incubated at the Public Accountability Initiative. It is directly comparable to Poderopedia in concept — a collaborative platform for documenting who-knows-who in power.
• QuiénManda: QuiénManda is a Spanish-language civic-tech project mapping the Mexican power elite, closely affiliated with the same data-journalism movement that produced Poderopedia and frequently cited alongside it. It is directly comparable as a regional peer addressing the same Latin American transparency gap.

Others

• Global Witness: Global Witness is an international NGO investigating corruption and the networks linking business, politics, and illicit finance. It is thematically comparable to Poderopedia's transparency mission and serves as a potential institutional buyer or partner for civic-tech power-mapping data.
• WikiLeaks / OCCRP: The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) is a global investigative journalism network exposing organized crime and corruption networks. It is comparable to Poderopedia as an ecosystem participant consuming and producing power-network data, though it focuses on investigative reporting rather than a structured database.

Broad incumbents

• Follow The Money: Follow The Money aggregates US state-level campaign finance and lobbying data. It is comparable to Poderopedia as an influence-mapping transparency platform, but with a US-only scope and a more focused campaign-finance data niche.
• Open Secrets (Center for Responsive Politics): Open Secrets tracks money in US politics and the influence networks behind it. It is comparable to Poderopedia as an established transparency and influence-mapping platform, but at far greater scale and with a US federal political focus rather than Latin American business/politics.
