Apple is starting its first-ever Entrepreneur Camp for app developers today, bringing in 11 female-founded app development companies and providing tools and resources to help attendees “thrive in today’s global app economy.” Apple says attendees will have “unprecedented access” to Apple’s business and marketing experts and more through Apple labs.
Announced through Newsroom, Apple says developers have earned $120 billion collectively since the App Store launched in 2008, with roughly a quarter of that within the past year.
As mentioned in Apple’s original announcement, the 11 companies that have been selected will get two tickets to this year’s WWDC conference in June, as well as a free one-year membership to the Apple Developer Program.
