CivStart Aims to Help State and Local Governments Implement New Technologies
CivStart, the only accelerator for the state and local government market, launched with a group of early-, middle-, and late-stage startups. According to the press release, “These start-ups will go through an intensive product-development and mentoring program guided and led by notable leaders from established companies and state and local governments. By providing state and local government leaders’ guidance and input from the very beginning, CivStart will ensure that technology products don’t get made in a vacuum—that they serve the needs of our most vulnerable and underserved communities.”“The state and local government market is incredibly difficult to navigate for young entrepreneurs hoping to make a difference in their communities,” says Jonathan Reichental, CivStart’s senior advisor. “Helping to bring their ideas and solutions to market can have enormous value. I've been impressed with CivStart, who want to help by facilitating meaningful connections, proving guidance and advice, and then, ultimately, helping to turn compelling solutions into viable, scalable solutions for state and local agencies." For more information and the list of participating startups, read the press release.
