More Than A Vendor: Partnering with Startups to Accelerate Government Innovation

In recent years, a new wave of government-focused technology startups have appeared in the marketplace: Subscription-based, cloud-hosted companies that take advantage of technology trends to provide online services that are often significantly lighter, cheaper, and easier to maintain than custom-built solutions.

These companies are looking to have a different relationship with the governments they sell to: as partners, not just vendors, working together to figure out how new technologies can solve today’s problems. These vendors are ready and willing to roll up their sleeves to help figure out what you need to improve your city.

Join Code for America’s new “Company Programs” team, as well the 2014 class of the Code for America Accelerator, as they share their perspective on future trends in government technology and government/startup collaboration.
