Fed10
Fed10 is a full-stack AI legislative consulting firm that monitors every bill introduced across all 50 U.S. state legislatures and Congress, classifies whether each bill is a threat or opportunity to a specific client, drafts amendment language, and maps out who to call and what to say. Founded in 2025 by three former teenage lobbyists who dropped out of Harvard, Williams, and Berkeley, it aims to do the work of a $500/hour policy consultant in seconds instead of days.
