About Falcon
We took a stand.
First company. Built by co-founders Eric Murphy (CEO) and Cameron Smith (CTO). Idea to products on shelves in under ten months — 2023.
Falcon was born as a stand: F-you energy aimed at COVID lockdowns and the craziness of that stretch. Not a pitch deck. A refusal. Murphy and Smith built it together — a stand for themselves in a world that said they didn't belong.
For co-founder and CTO Cameron Smith — formerly Chief Warrant Officer 2 — that wasn't abstract. After about 13.5 years of honorable service in the Oklahoma National Guard and as a GS-13 at Tinker AFB, he resigned his commission in protest in October 2021, left the Guard by year's end, and resigned his USAF civil service position as well. During COVID-era mobilizations and mandates, unvaccinated soldiers were treated differently — quarantine camps, denied basics, and rules that did not apply the same way to vaccinated peers — and religious accommodations at Tinker were met with coercion instead of due process. Falcon Trading Cards and Swamp Monsters TCG grew from that stand.
That spine became satire with teeth — and Falcon as the publisher behind it. Conquest Arcanum is next on the horizon. Same mark. Same people who wouldn't wait for permission.
