Who We Are

Who we are

Presidential Innovation Fellows is committed to reflecting the diversity of the people we serve. We’re a multidisciplinary team of product designers, full-stack engineers, and VC-backed founders. We’re also artists. Parents. Immigrants. Veterans. Walking into the office, we all share a passion for civic purpose—people helping people.

What we do

Hand-in-hand with federal agency leaders, we identify innovation opportunities of critical agency and/or national priority. As we do so, our team recruits outstanding technologists. And then, we unite. PIF embeds the nation's top engineers, designers, and strategists within agencies as yearlong senior advisors. With our agency partners, our fellows advise, prototype, and scale solutions using industry best practices across data science, design, engineering, product, and systems thinking.

Our values

Servant Leadership

Selfless service of partners and the public to achieve equitable outcomes, while bringing others along the journey with integrity, empathy, and humility.

User-Centered Innovation

Create an environment that prioritizes the user’s needs to iterate toward new solutions; create government products and processes that are intuitive, streamlined, and effective.

Collaborative Community

Nothing happens in government alone; as individuals, we often own specific outcomes, but we have shared ownership of our mission. Cultivate empathy; invest in each other; facilitate serendipity.
