Wendy Martinez - FiscalNote COS
FiscalNote began out of our desire to answer a fairly simple question: why isn't there a way to keep track of what's happening in government - at every level - in a simple, comprehensive, and reliable way?
With a background in public service and a major in public policy, Co-Founder and CEO Tim Hwang - who at the time was a rising senior at Princeton - thought this was a problem worth solving. That's what led Tim and high school friends Gerald Yao, and Jonathan Chen to spend the summer of 2013 hunkered down in a Silicon Valley Motel 6 with $2,000 of funding and a mission: to build a platform that combined global government data, analytics, and tools to better connect the world to its governments.

Her last job was with the Inter-American Development Bank. Appears she had some sort of connection with Vietnam.
Also FiscalNote just finalized a BIG deal with The Economist Group (partially owned by you know who)

The Economist Group plans to sell CQ Roll Call to technology and data startup FiscalNote, with the acquisition expected to close later this year, the companies announced Wednesday.
Following the deal, the Economist Group - publisher of The Economist magazine - would take on an 18 percent equity stake in the combined company, and its chief executive, Chris Stibbs, would join FiscalNote's Board of Directors.
Roll Call boasts a distinguished alumni network, including CBS's Norah O'Donnell, CNN's Jake Tapper, MSNBC's Steve Kornacki, and POLITICO and Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei. HuffPost congressional reporter Matt Fuller tweeted Wednesday that about half of the dozen reporters currently in the House press gallery once worked at CQ Roll Call.
