How to interest the authorities in your startup?

Question

Career in IT

It seems that Russia is ahead of the rest in terms of the pace of digitalization (precisely in terms of a digital state), and the more I notice this, the stronger the desire to join this movement. Personally V.V. Putin is interested in startups, but it seems to me that his interest comes down to the capitalization of the IT sector in Russia as a whole, and the automation of processes for state needs remains under the Iron Curtain. Or am I mistaken and the authorities are quietly working with outsourcing and are open to any proposals and are interested in "deep" participation? How does this interaction take place?
The startup is designed to be introduced into municipal authorities, but judging by how my city administration fought with the MFC in the early stages, then ... where to dig in general?
I have no illusions, I understand that we need connections and a name and effective solutions. What can become a social lift for a programmer in the public sector? Perhaps it is worth making a big bias towards politics and parties, or, on the contrary, start with the social sphere, charity and volunteering?

Answer 1

How to interest the authorities in your startup?

Write an anonymous messenger.

Answer 2

"What can become a social lift for a programmer in the public sector?"
Nothing. In the public sector, a programmer will remain a programmer.
Becoming the head of the IT department is already changing the activity from a programmer to a manager.

Answer 3

IMHO there are two ways:
1) Create a big movement. PR and stink wherever possible.
2) Get into tight circles by hook or by crook. Unfortunately, this is the most realistic way, in my opinion.
There is a third way, but it is not directly related to targeted introduction into the public sector. You just need to saw your startup and develop it as if it were not aimed at the public sector. And when he shoots, hire sales managers and send them to the administration of the facilities of the Russian Federation. As, for example, it happened to the authors of electronic Tatarstan, long before the emergence of federal public services (gosuslugi).

Answer 4

Well, if simple methods do not work, try rolling back

To the capitalization of Russia as a whole. The IT sector is superfluous here.
Personally, Putin does not particularly take part in this, and it is unrealistic for an ordinary programmer to get to him. Look for outlets to your mayor, to introduce something at the level where you have connections. Otherwise, practically nothing.
The only thing - you can try to promote some startup in the field of accounting - a portal for the automatic preparation of applications, forms, etc. Having untwisted, you can try to cooperate with the state service - but here you need to acquire connections.
Ideally, try to still establish communication with the deputy of the Supreme Duma, and already try to break through him.
