<h1>THE OPPORTUNITY</h1>
<div class="top_art_cont">
<div class="left_art">Any place a business, citizen, or other organization interacts with government is a place of opportunity for business to improve the interaction and make money. Just as Turbotax has made the painful process of filing and paying taxes easier for millions of Americans, new business can be created to make it easier for people to pay parking tickets, for entrepreneurs to apply for permits from local governments, or for neighbors to more effectively dispose of waste. What's remarkable is: not only do these businesses make money, they create a change in perspective: paying parking tickets online not only saves the government money, it builds trust between citizens and their government.</div>

<li class="redli liImg3">Compete with government

<h1>FAQ</h1>
<div class="top_art_cont">
<h2>What is the CFA Accelarator?</h2>
The CfA Accelerator is a seed startup accelerator focused on the civic space – that is, government, community, and the interaction between the two. Increasingly the way in which we engage with government is channeled through technology, which means there's a tremendous opportunity for entrepreneurs to build new, successful, and profitable startups that make experience more like the consumer web. The CfA Accelerator aims to help early-stage civic startups get the financial, strategic, and operational support they need to succeed.
<h2>What is Code for America?</h2>
Code for America is a non-profit that's trying to make government work more like the internet: more open, more efficient, and more collaborative. Code for America launched with the CfA Fellowship, an annual program, which pairs passionate technologists with innovative city governments to build new solutions to civic problems. The CfA Accelerator is an outgrowth of our learnings from the fellowship; primarily a realization that while change from the inside of government is necessary, it must come from the outside as well.
<h2>What's a civic startup?</h2>
Good question. Best way to answer that is by example (a dodge, we know). But check our growing list of civic startup precedents. More directly, however, we see three models for startups that'd fall within the civic space: 1) they provide services on top of open government data (BrightScope); 2) they bring modern web technologies directly to governments (Socrata); 3) they change the way citizens ask, get, or need services from government (TurboTax & SeeClickFix).
