DESCRIPTION
2014 Code for America Accelerator Spotlight: MuniRent 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.
