Key people at FiscalNote.
FiscalNote is a publicly traded technology company that provides AI-powered software, data services, and media tools through its core Government Relationship Management (GRM) platform, helping organizations track, analyze, and influence legislative, regulatory, and geopolitical developments worldwide.[1][2][3] It serves over 5,000 clients, including half of the Fortune 100, nonprofits, government agencies, and embassies, by solving the problem of navigating complex policy environments with real-time insights, predictive analytics, and expert analysis—replacing manual tracking with automated, actionable intelligence.[2][5][6] The platform aggregates data from thousands of sources across local, state, federal, and global levels, enabling proactive decision-making amid rising regulatory risks, with strong growth evidenced by 16 acquisitions in five years and integrations like CQ Roll Call for stable revenue.[3][5]
FiscalNote was founded in 2013 by Timothy Hwang, Gerald Yao, and Jonathan Chen—childhood friends who started the company during Hwang's junior year of college in Washington, D.C.[1][3][5] The idea emerged from recognizing the need for technology-driven transparency into policy, people, and geopolitics, pioneering GRM software by combining AI, legislative data, and expert analysis.[2] Early traction came from securing Mark Cuban as the first investor via a cold email after watching Shark Tank, followed by rapid expansion through acquisitions like CQ Roll Call in 2018 for media and subscriber stability, and launches such as international datasets in 2017 and ESG Solutions in 2022.[3][5]
FiscalNote rides the wave of AI-driven regulatory intelligence amid exploding policy complexity—69% in government affairs report rising issues—capitalizing on market forces like geopolitical shifts, ESG mandates, and hyper-partisan legislation requiring real-time tracking across jurisdictions.[2][5][7] Its timing aligns with AI's 2023 dominance for processing billions of regulatory pages in multiple languages, enabling clients from Biden's briefings to Fortune 500 firms to minimize risks and seize opportunities in a fragmented global landscape.[5] By powering diplomacy, corporate strategy, and nonprofits, FiscalNote influences the ecosystem as the premier hub for policy data, fostering transparency and strategic advocacy in tech, pharma, and beyond.[2][6]
FiscalNote is poised for expansion through AI enhancements in multilingual analysis, further acquisitions, and ESG/policy integrations, as regulatory volumes surge globally.[3][5] Trends like AI regulation, climate mandates, and geopolitical volatility will amplify demand for its GRM edge, potentially evolving it into an indispensable infrastructure for enterprise risk management. With its pioneering blend of tech and expertise transforming opaque government processes, FiscalNote remains the go-to navigator for organizations shaping tomorrow's policy world.[1][2]
