2369: FiscalNote: The Tech Behind Global Policy and Market Intelligence - a podcast by Neil C. Hughes

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I chat with Tim Hwang, the 30-year-old CEO of FiscalNote, who became the youngest Asian American CEO on the NYSE in August 2022. Under Tim's leadership, FiscalNote has grown significantly.

FiscalNote is the premier platform for regulatory and policy data, functioning as the "Bloomberg terminal" for state, federal, and global policy information. With over 5,000 clients, FiscalNote powers the data used in President Biden's daily briefings, informs decision-making at half of the Fortune 500 companies and enables foreign embassies to monitor global changes and enact diplomacy and treaty negotiations.

During the interview, Tim shares the background story of FiscalNote, which he started during his junior year of college alongside his childhood friends. He also discusses how he secured Mark Cuban as the company's first investor through a cold email after watching Shark Tank.

Tim emphasizes the importance of a "Bloomberg terminal" for policy in today's rapidly changing regulatory landscape. With 69% of people in the government and regulatory affairs sector experiencing increased policy issues, FiscalNote's technology and AI-driven platform help key decision-makers navigate complex policy environments.

Lastly, Tim delves into his commitment to equal opportunity information and intelligence, highlighting FiscalNote's work with clients across the political spectrum and around the world. As misinformation continues to plague modern society, Tim believes everyone should have equal access to accurate data, regardless of political beliefs. Join me and Tim as we explore the innovative world of FiscalNote and its impact on policy intelligence.
