V-POL Audit: Homebase
Audit Phase: V-POL Target Company: Homebase Headquarters: San Francisco, CA Industry: Workforce Management / Employee Scheduling Software Audit Date: 2026-05-01 Research Status: ⚠ Incomplete — live web search returned null results for all queries during this session. All sections reflect the actual evidentiary state. No findings have been fabricated or inferred.
Corporate Communications & Public Stance
No public evidence identified.
Research queries targeting Homebase’s corporate press releases, investor communications, executive public statements, and news archives returned null results across all attempts. No statements — affirmative, neutral, or avoidant — regarding geopolitical conflicts, human rights frameworks, or contested-territory operations could be located or verified. No corporate blog posts, shareholder letters, or media interviews touching on V-POL-relevant subject matter were retrievable.
Evidence gap: Corporate communications archives were not accessible via live web search during this session. Manual review of the Homebase official newsroom and press archive is recommended as a follow-up action.1
Operations in Occupied or Contested Territories
No public evidence identified.
Queries targeting the OHCHR database of businesses operating in Israeli settlements, trade press coverage, corporate filings, and general news archives returned null results.2 No evidence was retrieved indicating that Homebase maintains offices, data centers, sales operations, contractual relationships, or partnerships in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the Golan Heights, or any other territory classified as occupied or contested under international law.
Evidence gap: The OHCHR settlement business database requires direct manual consultation to confirm whether Homebase appears in any listed category.2 As a privately held company, Homebase is not subject to SEC disclosure obligations that might otherwise surface operational geography, further limiting automated discovery.3
Internal Governance, Content & Retail Policies
No public evidence identified.
Queries targeting HR controversy coverage, National Labor Relations Board filings, employee relations disputes, platform content or acceptable-use policies, and labor press archives returned null results. No evidence was retrieved of internal governance controversies relevant to V-POL criteria — including employee activism, internal petition activity, walkouts, or platform policy decisions touching on geopolitical content.
Evidence gap: NLRB case search and California Labor Commissioner filings should be consulted manually. Employee review platforms (e.g., Glassdoor, Blind) may contain relevant signals not captured by standard news search.
Brand Heritage & State Partnerships
No public evidence identified.
Queries targeting marketing and PR materials, government co-branding arrangements, Brand Israel campaign participant lists, trade mission records, and tourism or cultural sponsorship databases returned null results. No evidence was retrieved linking Homebase to any state-sponsored branding initiative, government tourism partnership, or national identity campaign from any government — including but not limited to Israel, the United States, or Gulf states.
Evidence gap: Brand Israel participant registries and related government campaign archives require direct manual review. Homebase’s status as a B2B software vendor makes state-level consumer branding partnerships less probable a priori, but this cannot substitute for confirmed evidence.
Lobbying, Advocacy, Financing & Logistics
No public evidence identified.
Queries targeting OpenSecrets PAC and lobbying summary records, FEC contribution databases, NGO financial disclosures, and trade association membership lists returned null results.1 No evidence was retrieved of Homebase, its executives, or affiliated entities making political contributions, funding advocacy organizations, retaining registered lobbyists, or participating in financing arrangements with V-POL-relevant counterparties.
Evidence gap: The OpenSecrets organizational summary page and FEC bulk data portal require direct manual queries.1 IRS Form 990 filings for any affiliated foundation or nonprofit should be reviewed via Candid/GuideStar. Because Homebase is privately held, campaign finance exposure, if any, would surface primarily through individual executive FEC filings rather than corporate disclosures.
Corporate Structure & Primary Mission
No public evidence identified.
Queries targeting corporate charter filings, Delaware and California state registry records, ownership structure disclosures, and investor records returned null results. Homebase is understood from general training-data context to be a privately held workforce management software company offering employee scheduling, time tracking, and team communication tools primarily to small and medium-sized businesses. However, no filing-level confirmation of ownership structure, investor syndicate composition, or subsidiary relationships could be retrieved or verified during this session.3
Evidence gap: Delaware Division of Corporations and California Secretary of State business search portals should be consulted directly to confirm current corporate structure. Venture capital portfolio pages for known investors may surface ownership and board composition details not otherwise publicly filed.
Executive & Leadership Footprint
No public evidence identified.
Queries targeting executive biography databases, personal philanthropy records, board membership registries, and social media archives returned null results. No evidence was retrieved regarding the political affiliations, philanthropic giving patterns, board memberships, or public advocacy positions of Homebase’s executive leadership team or board directors that would be material to a V-POL assessment.
Evidence gap: IRS Form 990 filings for any foundations associated with Homebase executives should be reviewed manually via Candid/GuideStar. LinkedIn profiles and personal foundation websites may contain relevant board or affiliation disclosures. BDS movement targeted-campaign and endorser databases should be checked for executive name appearances.4

https://bdsmovement.net/Act/targeted-campaigns --- > Auditor’s Note: All four end-note URLs represent the correct resource classes for this audit target and are provided as confirmed starting points for manual investigator follow-up. None has been verified to contain Homebase-specific evidence — they are included because they are the authoritative primary sources for the claim categories they correspond to, not because a finding has been confirmed at those URLs. This audit must be re-executed in a functional live-search environment before any V-POL determination can be made. All seven domain sections return “No public evidence identified” solely because retrieval infrastructure was non-operational during this session, not because Homebase has been cleared. ↩
