- U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s campaign has pumped $25.7 million into his little-known tech company Hawkfish since the billionaire entered the race last November, according to disclosures to the Federal Election Commission.
The company, which is based out of the Bloomberg campaign’s midtown Manhattan headquarters, now has at least 200 employees. Hawkfish describes itself on its LinkedIn page as “a new startup to build state-of-the-art data and tech infrastructure for Democratic candidates, good causes and common sense solutions.”
Eric Kuhn, who is described on his LinkedIn page as the first agent in Hollywood to focus on social media during his time at United Talent Agency, has also joined Hawkfish as a senior advisor working on digital organizing and influencers, a signal that the campaign may build on its recent paid partnerships with popular Instagram meme accounts.
“Bloomberg is not only the best funded, but candidly far and away the most sophisticated with data,” said JT Kostman, a data scientist who worked on social media strategy for Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.

'Hawkfish' rhymes with 'hawkish'... ... (Bloomberg still stands by his support of Iraq War).
Human beings not for sale Mr. Bloomberg.
Seems the 'Anthony 929' left a message in my voicemail was from Hawkfish. 🤭
Seems the 'Peter' left a message in my voicemail was from Hawkfish. 🤭
Holy shit--a Hawkfish? How can we counter that? We need a LemurToad, or a hipposquirrlemous, or a BatSloth. Oh, I forgot, we destroyed this idiot earlier in the week.
Good - time to dismantle Trump's GRU-backed digital media arm
