We're now <a href="http://codeforamerica.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d9acf2a4c694efbd76a48936f&id=73803e99cb&e=ac63f60dcb" style="color:#399fd3;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">accepting applications</a> for the 2013 Accelerator program.<br>
<br>
Over the past couple of years there has been increasing momentum and energy around the civic startup space. Governments are looking for new tools and entrepreneurs are looking for new markets — and government technology is a $140 billion market.<br>
<br>
<em>How does it work?</em><br>
Starting in August the four month program will turbo-charge the selected startups by providing <strong>$25k</strong>, <strong>mentorship</strong>, and <strong>access to a broad network of VC's, tech leaders, and governments</strong>.<br>
<br>
<em>What's a civic startup?</em><br>
A civic startup is a startup that creates technology to enhance government and the communities they serve. In last year's Accelerator class we had companies who developed everything from community disaster management tools supporting the Hurricane Sandy victims to APIs for America's education system.<br>
