H/F has worked a bit with the Presidential Innovation fellows program on immigration issues, and we nominated a few people for the Entrepreneur in Residence Program at USCIS.  Since then, I've been seeing a lot of positive changes happen for founders post funding, having an easier time getting visas. ( More on Immigration soon. ) This year, the White House as broadened the program, and have room for 9 innovation fellows. It's a kick ass opportunity to try and hack government more efficient and make it suck less.  :) So, I thought I'd forward this to y'all.  :) Cheers, Jonathan Presidential Innovation Fellows: Taking Applications Now!

 

Last summer, the White House launched the Presidential Innovation Fellows program, which teams top innovators from the private sector, non-profits, and academia with top innovators in government to work collaboratively during focused 6-12 month "tours of duty" to develop solutions that can save lives, save taxpayer money, and fuel job creation.

 

The first round of Fellows has produced remarkable results, reimagining the way citizens engage with government services and information, opening up government data as fuel for entrepreneurship and innovation, enabling millions of veterans and other Americans to securely download their own health information, and more.

 

I'm thrilled to let you know that today, the White House launched Round 2 of the Presidential Innovation Fellows program (#InnovateGov), focused on nine exciting projects, and has begun accepting applications at WhiteHouse.gov/InnovationFellows!

 

We are now conducting a nationwide search for incredibly talented innovators and entrepreneurs who can turn those projects into tangible results that benefit the Nation.  You may be one of the people we need, or you may have friends or colleagues with the right skills. Either way, please learn more here.

 

The Presidential Innovation Fellows program offers a unique opportunity for Americans to work together to advance the public good and have an impact on a national scale. Whether as an applicant, someone who can encourage friends to apply, or someone who would like to follow and support the Fellows' projects, we invite you to join the team!

 

Yours truly,

 

Todd Park

US Chief Technology Officer 
Executive Office of the President
