Foundation Membership

An exclusive, invite-only tier for those who have actively engaged with SOFX—reading, interacting, and supporting our work. This limited-slot membership helps sustain our independent media efforts while granting early access to upcoming features, deeper insights, and a direct role in shaping what’s next.

Help Us Kickstart the SOFX Network

We’re launching the SOFX Foundational Membership for the friends, readers, and supporters who have helped build SOFX into what it is today. This exclusive membership is the first step toward creating the SOFX Network—a human-centric network rooted in the ethos of special operations:

“Humans are more important than hardware.”

Why is SOFX Launching a Membership?

SOFX was founded in 2014 on the principles of Trust, Integrity, and Excellence to provide high-trust information and communication services to decision-makers in Aerospace & Defense. What began as a daily reader for the Special Operations community has grown into one of the most trusted independent media platforms for apolitical reporting on armed conflict and the technologies shaping the global arms trade.


As advertising-driven revenue models increasingly rely on intrusive technologies that undermine privacy, SOFX has refused to adopt invasive practices, reinforcing our commitment to protecting your data. While we’ve been fortunate to work with advertisers who share our values, this selectivity also limits our growth. Meanwhile, big tech’s AI-driven aggregation is reshaping media by scraping original reporting, stripping context, and diverting traffic away from independent publishers. By restricting AI’s ability to exploit our content, we ensure our members receive reporting and analysis that can’t be found elsewhere.


To remain independent while expanding our content and services, we are transitioning to a membership model.

A Limited Opportunity for Longtime Readers

 

For those who have already been supporting us, we are launching the SOFX Foundational Membership—a one-time, limited membership tier designed exclusively for our long-time readers. Your support at this stage directly strengthens our ability to grow our team and enhance our reporting to deliver even greater value to you.

With your backing, we plan to:

Expand Our Team and Content Offerings

Bringing on additional expertise will allow us to provide premium analysis alongside our “just the facts” apolitical reporting, offering deeper insights into key developments.

Launch an Expanded Members-Only SOFX Newsletter

A reimagined version of our core newsletter with enhanced content, more in-depth reporting, and exclusive analysis.

Introduce a New Industry Intelligence Newsletter

A dedicated product providing critical insights into government contracts, industry job opportunities, competitive intelligence, key industry notices, and emerging trends.

Host In-Person Events and Courses

We’re building opportunities for you to learn new skills, meet key industry players, and advance your career and business through exclusive networking and educational experiences.

Together, We are going to build a Human Centered Network owing to our legacy as a fundamentally special operations informed media company.

The First rule of Special Operations ethos is:
Humans are more important than Hardware
