Deadline: Ongoing

Research shows that women face unique challenges in technology, especially when starting and leading companies. That’s why we created Apple Entrepreneur Camp, for organizations founded and led by women.* Our goal is to help these entrepreneurs as they create the next generation of cutting-edge apps and to form a global network that encourages the pipeline and longevity of women in technology.

The application consists of four parts, which include uploads and prompts for written responses.

Organization details. Tell us about your organization and provide contact information for up to three employees who would attend if your organization is selected.

Your app. Provide details about your app and development team. You may include a download or demo link, as well as up to three screenshots or wireframes that best illustrate the user experience.

The future. Describe what you plan to gain from participating in Apple Entrepreneur Camp, as well as your plans for the future.

Additional information. Select the dates for which you’d like to apply and provide any additional comments. You may also apply for travel and lodging assistance, if needed.

Your application will be kept on file for one year.
