FiscalNote Deepens Ties to Washington DC


FiscalNote, the Washington DC-based company that dramatically improves the way organizations engage with government, today announced a multilateral agreement with the District of Columbia Mayor's office that will keep the innovative enterprise software company in the district for another 10 years.

FiscalNote created the government relationship management (GRM) category a year ago with the first comprehensive engagement platform, services, and mobile application. The company this month celebrates its fourth anniversary.

"Given FiscalNote's unique position at the intersection of technology and policy, we hoped to be able to stay in the District for our next wave of expansion," said Hwang. "The Mayor's office partnered with us to develop the right incentives that enable us to remain here. We'll use those resources to invest in training, apprenticeship and internship programs for D.C. residents over the life of the agreement."

The deal is unique in that the benefits will exclusively serve District residents, rather than just creating jobs that could go to non-residents.

"We're committed to helping D.C. residents level up with more technical and marketable skills," added Hwang. "We look forward to bolstering residents' ability to achieve greater technical literacy."

Fifty-three FiscalNote employees currently live in the District of Columbia. The company's more than 120 team members work in offices in the District, New York City, and Seoul, South Korea.

FiscalNote's new headquarters will occupy a full floor of premier Washington address 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Hwang Named to Washington Business Journal 40 Under 40

Separately, FiscalNote co-founder and CEO Tim Hwang, 25, was named to Washington Business Journal's 40 Under 40 Class of 2017. The publication last year named the company a Startup to Watch, and Hwang appeared on the cover of the publication's annual Book of Lists in December.



The publication's 40 Under 40 program honors greater Washington's top business leaders and owners under 40 years of age. Each honoree exhibits outstanding performance in their field. Honorees were chosen from more than 450 nominations by a panel of outside judges and the Washington Business Journal staff. The honorees will be profiled in the publication's July 21 issue.
