More Americans believe we’ll colonize the moon before we fix K-12 education. This is a policy problem. We have been building a solution that’s already trusted by many of the Fortune 500 as well as 1/3 of federal and state elected officials in the United States. Organizations are more impacted by policy than by financial markets. Yet financial markets have been real-time for decades, and policy markets are still nearly impossible to follow. @StateAffairsUS has raised over $70M from @rabois, @khoslaventures, @foundersfund and others to fix that. We are creating the world’s first real-time knowledge graph for policy and regulatory markets. This platform is foundationally built on non-partisan journalism and the collection of on-the-ground data that isn’t digitally accessible. In the future, we believe every executive will watch policy markets the way they watch financial markets. Instead of reacting to regulation, they’ll navigate it proactively. Policy should iterate at the speed of our most innovative industries.

Today we're announcing $70M to build the intelligence infrastructure for the policy and regulatory economy and our story is featured in @nypost. State Affairs is the AI platform for policy and regulation, already trusted by one-third of the nation's elected officials and by government affairs and legal teams across the Fortune 1000. Policy gets made in statehouses long before it reaches Washington. Thousands of bills, hearings, and regulations moving across 50 states at once. Our edge is exclusive journalism and original data gathering. We have one of the largest statehouse newsrooms in the country, 2,000+ original stories a month, and on the ground data gathers that both power our AI with signals no one else has. nypost.com/2026/07/14/tech/a… Grateful to everyone backing this vision — led by @khoslaventures and @foundersfund with participation from @alumniventures and Tru Arrow Partners (@Asilverschotz). And a special thanks to the operators, investors, and advisors who've supported us since the beginning: @rabois, @vkhosla, @zebulgar, @amather, @guypbenson, @DKThomp, @johncatsjr, @NightVentures_, @storysylee, @JakePerlmanGarr, @ryanshmeizer, @bgoldberg, @TheAuthletic, @mbrauchli, and @AC_GrowthReady.

Fun fact: @GavinNewsom has budgeted >300% more tax dollars for a nonexistent California rail system than SpaceX raised in private capital in its entire history as a private company.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

An insightful "reflection" episode with @TheAuthletic. We covered a lot of topics - but a few favorites: - Building for users (not advertisers) - Finding local moats - Talent as a funnel - Arming your team with Data The Athletic will always hold a special place in my heart.

The day before we publish an @onMantel newsletter is daunting- not much scarier to me than a blank screen, & it gives me so much respect for REAL writers (👋 @TheAthletic staff). Want to read whatever I come up w/ once the panic subsides? Subscribe here: mantel.beehiiv.com/subscribe
