Turns out @ycombinator is the YC for DC.
That's one of my biggest takeaways from this great conversation with @Airbnb Cofounder @jgebbia.
YC was transformational for Joe and Airbnb. Now he's bringing that same mindset (e.g. get close to users, question conventional wisdom, move quickly, build things people love) to Washington.
The opportunity is bigger than better government websites. It's about redesigning the user experience of being a citizen.
YC has changed technology, business, and culture. It's fascinating to see that impact extend into government, too.
