  • Bloomberg Government (BGOV)

    Public affairs and stakeholder-engagement SaaS for legislative tracking, grassroots advocacy, and PAC/lobbying workflows; widely cited as FiscalNote's most direct public-affairs-software rival.

  • LegiStorm

    Congressional and state lobbying intelligence platform combining staff/contact directories, lobbying disclosures, and bill tracking; positioned as a lower-cost U.S.-focused alternative to FiscalNote and BGOV.

  • Plural Policy (formerly OpenStates/Phone2Action lineage)

    Modern legislative tracking and advocacy platform with strong state-level coverage; an emerging competitor in the public affairs SaaS category.

  • POLITICO Pro

FiscalNote Investment FAQ

FiscalNote FAQ

FiscalNote went public via SPAC merger with Duddell Street Acquisition Corp. on July 29, 2022, with shares beginning to trade on NYSE under ticker NOTE on August 1, 2022 at a ~$1.3B pro forma valuation. The user-supplied premise that FiscalNote was taken private by Sagewind/Sentire Capital in 2024 could not be verified and appears incorrect. The company remained publicly listed throughout 2024 and 2025. On March 25, 2026, the NYSE commenced delisting proceedings because the 30-day average closing price of NOTE Class A common stock fell below $1.00; trading was suspended on the NYSE and shares began trading on OTC markets (still under ticker NOTE) on March 26, 2026. FiscalNote is appealing the determination to the NYSE Listing Qualifications Panel. The company is undertaking an organizational transformation including a ~25% workforce reduction (~100+ employees) and ~19% reduction in cash operating costs, targeting positive free cash flow by Q1 2027. 2025 revenue was $95.4M (down from $120.3M in 2024, partly due to divestitures), with a net loss of $81.8M; 2026 revenue guidance is $80M-$83M.

FiscalNote shares can be purchased through any standard brokerage account — including Fidelity, Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and online platforms like Robinhood or E*TRADE. Search for the ticker to place an order.
