Overview
FiscalNote provides cloud software for policy tracking, regulatory analysis, stakeholder engagement, and government relations workflows — serving enterprises, law firms, trade groups, and agencies in 40+ countries. Founded in 2013 (early incorporation in Sunnyvale; HQ moved to Washington, D.C.), by Timothy Hwang, Gerald Yao, and Jonathan Chen. Early investors included Mark Cuban, Jerry Yang, New Enterprise Associates, and Steve Case's Rise of the Rest fund. The company raised approximately $188M across venture rounds including a $160M growth round (Dec 2020) with Arrowroot Capital and Runway Growth Capital, went public via SPAC (NYSE: NOTE), and remained headquartered at 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue NW as of 2026 SEC filings.
Why FiscalNote is interesting
Tim Hwang cold-emailed Mark Cuban for seed capital in 2013; Steve Case's Rise of the Rest participated in 2014 — a DC-native govtech scale story that went public via SPAC before relisting challenges, still HQ'd on Pennsylvania Avenue.
