A one-on-one, product-focused technology lab designed to empower underrepresented founders and developers, elevate their app-driven businesses, and build dynamic communities.
Research shows that founders from underrepresented communities face unique challenges, especially when starting and leading technology companies. We created Apple Entrepreneur Camp with the goal of supporting these founders and their organizations as they build the next generation of cutting-edge apps and to form a global network that encourages the pipeline and longevity of underrepresented founders and developers in technology.
Entrepreneur Camp offers programming for founders and developers who are female*, Black, Hispanic/Latinx, or Indigenous and have the following:
The heart of Apple Entrepreneur Camp is an intensive technology lab, where you’ll work one-on-one with Apple experts and engineers to significantly accelerate your app. You’ll also hear from Apple executives and have the opportunity to form relationships with your fellow attendees. At the conclusion of the lab, you’ll present your progress, get feedback, and participate in alumni programming (including presenting a live demo of your app).
Membership in the Apple Developer Program allows you to distribute your apps to the App Store and includes access to advanced app capabilities, extensive beta testing tools, and app analytics. It also includes the opportunity to get code-level support from Apple engineers during the membership year.
You’ll interact with world-class senior leaders and your cohort peers who can help you build your business and personal network. You’ll also get exclusive access to Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni events and opportunities for peer-to-peer mentoring, as well as your extended network of Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni.
You’ll establish an ongoing relationship with an Apple Developer representative who’s an expert on the developer ecosystem and can help guide you through Apple resources.
Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni have created over 90 apps currently available on the App Store. Learn about some of their apps and the inspiration behind them.
