Overview

Mission

We're focused on the long game of changing government through digital transformation. There are organizations inside the government (usds, 18f, presidential innovation fellows) that are already spearheading efforts to improve how government delivers services to the american public. But they need support from commercial tech firms to make sweeping changes to how things are done. Nimble, forward-thinking firms are the ones who can make this a reality. By working together, we can accelerate the government's ability to implement services that focus on good usability, reliable technology, and accessibility for all while also benefiting the individuals and firms that are part of the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Membership - our goal is to collaborate, not compete by bringing like-minded small to midsize companies together to work toward the common mission of serving the american public by improving how government works.
