    Request for Startups: Government 2.0 - Michael Seibel

    Michael Seibel

    Y Combinator CEO Michael Seibel has launched a "Request for Startups" initiative titled "Government 2.0" to identify for-profit ventures using software to solve societal failures that traditional government entities have not resolved. The program specifically targets founders motivated by social impact over mere wealth or scale, aiming to validate Silicon Valley's capacity to drive meaningful community improvements. This effort builds on historical YC successes in sectors like healthcare and criminal justice to demonstrate investor enthusiasm for startups with significant missions.
