Apple opens applications for next Entrepreneur Camp in October

Apple has opened applications for its upcoming Entrepreneur Camp, which is aimed at supporting app founders and developers from underrepresented communities.

The next Entrepreneur Camp is slated for October, and will feature three separate cohorts representing founders and developers that are female, Black, or Hispanic and Latinx.

"Apple Entrepreneur Camp supports underrepresented founders and developers of app-driven organizations as they build the next generation of cutting-edge apps and helps form a global network that encourages the pipeline and longevity of these entrepreneurs in technology," Apple writes of the event.

According to Apple, "attendees will receive code-level guidance, mentorship, and inspiration with unprecedented access to Apple engineers and leaders."

At the end of the event, participants will receive feedback on their projects and the chance to win a free one-year membership in the Apple Developer program. The $99-a-year membership is required before apps can be submitted to the App Store.

Applications for the Entrepreneur Camp close on Aug. 24, 2022.
