What If the Next Policy Shift Blindsides Your Business?

Many small businesses and even busy professionals are not tuned into policy changes or economic indicators that can significantly affect them. Interest rate changes, new tax laws, or healthcare regulations can alter costs overnight. The information is out there but it’s overwhelming to track.

MacroMinder – Macro Risk & Policy Alert Service

What We’re Testing

Policy Shocks in Your Inbox—Before They Hit Your Bottom Line.


A single debt-ceiling standoff, surprise Fed presser, or IRS mileage-rate change can add five figures to a small company’s cost structure overnight. Yet founders and finance leads can’t camp on C-SPAN or the Federal Register all day. MacroMinder scrapes legislative calendars, CBO releases, FOMC minutes, and bond-market stress signals, turning raw noise into plain-English, business-ready alerts delivered by email, Slack, or SMS.


Hypothesis: SMB owners will pay $15 per month for curated, customizable macro-policy alerts if they can set the trigger rules themselves.
