About Startup In Residence
STIR connects government agencies with startups to develop technology products that address civic challenges. Over 16 weeks, startups and government work together to co-develop a solution that creates real impact. The core mission of STIR is to bring together government and startups to explore ways to use technology to make government more accountable, efficient and responsive. Since 2014, we have tackled dozens of civic challenges such as: streamlining the foster care process, recovering quickly from an earthquake, and giving homeless people the services they need in real time.
