Now part of FiscalNote, Fireside is actively used by the United States Senate and stands out as one of the very few solutions — and uniquely positioned in the market — that bridges policy management and stakeholder relationships within a single platform. Designed to meet the needs of everyone in a public office, Fireside combines a powerful data infrastructure with an intuitive user experience, all while remaining accessible in terms of cost — even by the most fiscally conservative standards.

At Smartup Network, we partnered closely with the Fireside team as a technical and product development partner throughout the product’s evolution. From designing a scalable architecture and modelling complex data relationships, to refining the user experience and establishing a sustainable development setup, our focus was on building a platform that could grow with its users.

Given that Fireside serves institutions such as the US Senate — where security, performance, and data accuracy are non-negotiable — our work was driven by the need to deliver a robust, reliable, and future-proof product.

As a result of this collaboration, Fireside has become a strategically important product within the FiscalNote ecosystem. For Smartup Network, it represents a strong global reference in developing high-impact, regulation-driven public sector technology.
