Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has offered to support former 18F employees by funding a new consulting firm after the federal tech unit was abruptly shut down. The General Services Administration (GSA) laid off around 70 workers as part of a broader workforce reduction overseen by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Cuban encouraged the displaced workers to start their own firm, predicting the government might eventually need to rehire them as contractors. The layoffs sparked discussions about the future of civic tech, with some seeing this as an opportunity for government tech workers to reshape the sector from the private industry.
