In an op-ed, Dcode CEO Meagan Metzger explains why accelerators can be an important tool to bridge the gap between the tech industry and federal agencies.

In going from a cohort-model to a rolling-admissions one, the federal technology accelerator hopes to meet surging government demand for tech.

Shield AI, an artificial intelligence startup focused on military work, has found a tried-and-true way to scale its work with the DOD.

Dcode Capital is an "invitation-only network of angel investors, VCs, and technology and government legends" developed to invest in larger rounds of funding for tech companies serving the federal government.

Dcode started as a tech accelerator helping companies do business with government. "But we realized we were only solving half the problem," said its CEO.

The technology is a poster child for hype, shiny object syndrome and government tech solutionism.
