Apple to launch Entrepreneur Camp program, focus on app-driven firms founded or led by women

If you know a super cool lady who’s an aspiring coder in your life, Apple might have just the thing.
Alongside the return of its Hour of Code classes, Apple is launching an all-new Entrepreneur Camp that is focused on creating new opportunities based on app-driven businesses owned or led by women.
The program is looking to assist app-driven businesses that are founded, co-founded, or led by woman that have a working app or prototype. The program will begin in January of 2019, but will begin accepting applications now.
Per Apple CEO Tim Cook:
“Apple is committed to helping more women assume leadership roles across the tech sector and beyond. We’re proud to help cultivate female leadership in the app development community with the new Apple Entrepreneur Camp, and we’re inspired both by the incredible work that’s already happening, and what’s sure to come.”

The Entrepreneur Camp will be held on a quarterly basis, with up to 20 app-based companies being accepted each round. The initial pilot session will only have 10 companies.
Should a company be accepted, it will have the opportunity to send three attendees to Cupertino, California. Participants will then enter a two-week program at Apple’s Campus, sessions including one-on-one “code-love assistance with Apple engineers”, as well as sessions from App Store marketing, design, technology, and aid from an Apple Developer representative.
Each company will also get two tickets to WWDC for the following year, as well as a free year in the Apple Developer program.
