They might be interested in Code for America's Brigade groups, which are civic technology volunteer groups that meet regularly in many cities (including outside the US): https://www.codeforamerica.org/brigade/

Once again thank you and I'm still impressed by what you are putting out, but that still isn't quite what they click with.

To be honest a lot of the tech startup people I interact with have tremendous egos and they need to know the end of the tunnel fulfills that ego, so big money startups is what resonates with them. I'm looking for the marriage of startups and government basically.

I'm just being hyper critical, but I figured raw feedback would help

Probably not a good fit for 18F then. Its a good fit if you want to work on open source projects that'll help the US government work more efficiently.
