I’ve been accepted onto Apple’s Entrepreneur Camp! I only applied because The-Dots mentioned how useful it was. Thank you! Question:
Any thoughts how I might get the best out of this, especially as it is online and there won’t be many chats around the coffee machine?

- @Pip Jamieson Thank you so much for your reply. So generous, kind and helpful . Yes, I've been listing the technical help that the app needs already and app store use is definitely on the list!I wasn't sure how much/whether any business strategy or coaching might be on offer? So I will get my elevator pitch sharpened up and ready.Thanks as well for letting me hang on your coattails - I will absolutely tell everyone I meet where the inspiration to apply came from. The CMB channel workshops that you (and the-dots team) created helped immensely with the wording on my application.
- Oh my goodness, this just made my day! Congrats @Vickie Ward - that's HUGE!Here’s a couple of my top tips:- Dawn, who leads the Camp, is a legend. Let her know that you know me/found out about the Camp via The Dots and she'll look after you!- Work on your elevator pitch before the Camp That way, when you meet fellow founders & the Apple team they can clearly understand what you do and how they can help!- I’d also take time to think about what specific challenges you're having with your app (or future app!) – particularly on the tech and design side. This will ensure you get the most out of the sessions & 121 coaching time.- I also found the session on ‘how to market your app in the app store, and (potentially get featured)’, particularly helpful.- The Alumni network (i’m of course one of them) is amazing, so definitely tap into that- Apart from that, just soak it all up - you’ll learn so much!Oh, and having spoken at a recent ‘virtual’ Camp, I believe you’ll still get lots of ‘virtual’ networking time with fellow founders, so I don’t think the Camp being virtual will be a problem.If there are other app founders & developers on The Dots who are interested in Apple Camp, you can find more info here: https://developer.apple.com/entrepreneur-camp/I can totally vouch for this program, as I’ve been through it myself.
- Congratulations, that's amazing Vicky!I'm sure @Pip Jamieson will have a lot of advice as she's been on the camp herself :-)
