Personnel: Jennifer Pahlka at Code for America (Founder & Executive Director)

Verdictpartial95%
1 check · 4/9/2026

The source confirms that Jennifer Pahlka is the founder and former executive director of Code for America, and confirms the 2020 end date (January 31, 2020). However, the source does not explicitly state the 2009 founding date. The Wikipedia article discusses her work from 2005-2009 at Web 2.0 events, then transitions to Code for America without providing a specific founding year. The claim of 2009 as the start date is therefore unverified by this source, making the record only partially confirmed.
