What is Apple Entrepreneur Camp?

Apple Entrepreneur Camp is a program that supports underrepresented founders and developers, and encourages the pipeline and longevity of these entrepreneurs in technology. Attendees benefit from one-on-one code-level guidance, receive unprecedented access to Apple engineers and experts, and become part of the extended global network of Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni. Apple says the aim of the programme is to ’empower underrepresented founders and developers, elevate their app-driven businesses, and build dynamic communities.’ So if that’s you, then read on.

Who can apply?

Applications are now open for female, Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and Indigenous founders and developers. And this year, Apple plans to bring back its in-person programming at Apple in Cupertino. For those who can’t attend in person, Apple is still offering its full program online. You need to have either a functional and complete app that’s available on the App Store, a beta build on TestFlight, or be at an .IPA stage of your development to apply.

Why should you apply?

Apple Entrepreneur Camp is a unique opportunity to learn from the best in the industry, network with other like-minded entrepreneurs, and get feedback and support from Apple experts. You will also get access to exclusive resources including Apple’s immersive technology lab, code-level assistance, and post-program mentorship. You will also be able to showcase your app to a global audience and gain recognition as an Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni.
