WHY PRO
SOFX was founded by former special operations and intelligence professionals with one rule: report the facts, take no side, answer to no lobby. The free daily Report is paid for by advertisers. Pro is paid for by its members, so it answers to readers and no one else.
Your membership pays for the deeper reporting and opens the full brief, including the segments we keep for members. You get the whole picture. We stay independent and apolitical.

Financial Intelligence
// Company Dossier · Saronic Technologies
The combat record arrived before the shipyards did.
China holds roughly 230 times the shipbuilding capacity of the United States, a gap Saronic's founders cite constantly and the Pentagon no longer disputes. Saronic's answer is small, cheap, autonomous hulls built at software speed. This summer, that pitch stopped being theoretical.
Takeaways Up Front
On July 12, 2026, three Saronic Corsair drone boats struck Iran's Bandar Abbas Naval Base, the first time American forces used sea drones in combat.
One month earlier a Corsair pulled two downed Army aviators out of the water near the Strait of Hormuz.
The Austin company holds a $392 million Navy production contract and a $9.25 billion valuation.

FAQ
Everything worth knowing before you subscribe.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
The free SOFX Report delivers the day's five most important developments, ad-supported. Pro delivers all twelve, plus the member-only Financial Intelligence segment, special-category articles, weekend reports, community forums, and priority access to hiring, events, and merch.
Why does Pro cost money if the Report is free?
The free edition is funded by advertising. Pro is funded by members — which is what lets us report deeper, stay apolitical, and answer to readers instead of a lobby. Your membership directly funds independent intelligence.
Is SOFX politically affiliated?
No. Apolitical reporting is non-negotiable at SOFX. We report facts and cite sources. We don't take positions, and advertisers don't buy editorial.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pro is billed annually, or monthly, and you can cancel at any time. You'll keep access through the end of your term.
Do you sell my information?
Never. Your privacy is our priority: we don't rent, sell, or share your information, on Free or Pro.
Join the members who keep SOFX independent, and get every word of the intelligence brief, every morning.
One report. Three minutes. A world of intelligence.
