Work with us
As federal employees, we share your dedication to serving the American public.
Transform the way you work
Because 87% of large government IT projects fail, government’s approach to this work needs to change. We believe that projects have the best chance for success when agency leaders and staff themselves are closely involved in developing the solutions they need. We can help.
Ask the right questions, solve the right problems
We take the time and have the experience to understand the specific mission of your organization. In an 18F engagement, we work together to understand what problem you need to solve.
18F has deep expertise in talking to people. When you talk to users and staff, you get to the heart of the problem by learning how people use your services and technology. That’s how we uncover insights and find new solutions.

Choose the path that’s best for your mission and your users
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we work with you to design the right path for your organization and ensure that you feel confident about each step. We believe in “demos not memos” and everything we do is intended to be a step toward working software.
Some software projects are the right size and shape for 18F to build with you; others will require you to hire an outside vendor. We can help you to hire a vendor that can respond to your changing needs and deliver working software to you on a regular basis.

Tech that adapts and grows with your needs
18F engagements are designed to end. Since we’re part of the federal government, we don’t have a vested interest in extending engagements unnecessarily or selling you things you don’t need.
Instead, we involve your team in creating solutions and ensure they have everything they need to maintain and improve systems long after we’re gone.
