BetaNYC

BetaNYC is a civic organization dedicated to improving lives in New York through civic design, technology, and data. We envision an informed and empowered public that can leverage civic design, technology, and data to hold government accountable, and improve their economic opportunity. Our work empowers individuals and local communities to build a civically engaged technology ecosystem and provide for an honest and inclusive government. BetaNYC demystifies design, technology, and data to the point where anyone can use it, create it, and participate in the decision making process. We want New York’s governments to work for the people, by the people, for the 21st century.
