Apple has officially opened applications for the fifth year of its Apple Entrepreneur Camp. Apple says its Entrepreneur Camp “supports underrepresented founders and developers and promotes the development and longevity of these entrepreneurs in the technology field.”
On its website, Apple explains:
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 in building the next generation of cutting-edge apps and building a global network that fosters the development and longevity of underrepresented founders and developers in technology.
The heart of Apple Entrepreneur Camp is an intensive technology lab where you’ll work directly with Apple experts and engineers to dramatically accelerate your app. You’ll also hear from Apple executives and have the opportunity to network with other participants. At the end of the lab, you’ll showcase your progress, receive feedback, and participate in alumni programs (including presenting a live demo of your app).
According to Apple, female founders and developers, as well as women* of black, Hispanic/Latino and indigenous descent, are eligible to apply. (* “Apple believes that gender expression is a fundamental right. We welcome all women to apply for this program.”)
This year’s Apple Entrepreneur Camp will also include in-person coding at Apple in Cupertino. The in-person meeting will allow founders to meet Apple experts and other developers at the Apple Developer Center in Cupertino. However, for those who cannot attend in person, the entire program will still be available online.
You can sign up for Apple Entrepreneur Camp on Apple’s website. Applications are open until September 3. You can also discover apps from former Apple Entrepreneur Camp participants on Apple’s website.
