Our Story

How A Spark Became a Start Up

From a Motel 6 to Pennsylvania Ave: The Genesis of FiscalNote

While working in government, our founders saw firsthand how difficult it was to access clear legislative and regulatory information. The data existed, but it was scattered, unstructured, and hard to interpret.

They realized that by leveraging AI, there was an opportunity to transform how policy data was surfaced and understood. In June 2013, Tim Hwang, Gerald Yao, and Jonathan Chen flew from Maryland to Silicon Valley with the goal of transforming this bold idea into a reality. After a few months working out of a Motel 6, they returned to the east coast with investment capital -- and validation. FiscalNote was born.
