Canaccord Genuity Advises Board.org on its Sale to FiscalNote

Canaccord Genuity is pleased to announce that it has advised Board.org, an Austin-based company that builds vendor-free, peer-to-peer communities for people leading meaningful change at the world’s biggest companies, on its sale to FiscalNote, a leading technology provider of global policy and market intelligence.

Founded in 2007 by Andy Sernovitz, Board.org builds peer-to-peer communities for people leading meaningful change at the world’s biggest companies. The company, which is known as a trusted channel that convenes senior decision-makers who require unique insights from their peers, runs SocialMedia.org, SocialMedia.org Health, CSR Board, Data Board, Talent Marketing Board, and DEI Board, with more communities for mission-driven leaders coming soon. These communities will continue to operate as confidential, vendor-free environments, where leaders can have conversations they can’t have anywhere else about their toughest challenges.

FiscalNote is the premier information services company focused on global policy and market intelligence. By combining AI technology, expert analysis, and legislative, regulatory, and geopolitical data, FiscalNote is reinventing the way that organizations minimize risk and capitalize on opportunity. Home to CQ, Roll Call, Oxford Analytica, and VoterVoice, FiscalNote empowers more than 5,000 customers worldwide to monitor, manage, and act on the issues that matter most to them. With a strong belief in pairing advanced technology with human-generated intelligence and insight, FiscalNote is leading the way in providing relied upon solutions to help organizations manage their most important policy and global risk issues.

Leveraging Board.org’s seasoned team of talented community facilitators, FiscalNote hopes to expand the number and types of Board.org communities, while also introducing these unique professional opportunities and resources to FiscalNote’s existing customers. The acquisition is the latest in a series made in 2021 by FiscalNote, as the company continues to strengthen and expand its suite of solutions designed to help organizations navigate the policy and global market landscape.
