Each year, Bubble hosts Immerse, a fully funded virtual residency program to help underrepresented startup founders and entrepreneurs create high-quality web apps using no-code. This year, we launched Immerse Impact, our first cohort focused on underrepresented founders of social impact startups.
Founders excel when they’re supported by other experts eager to help them grow. That’s why, in addition to instructors, we pair our Immerse cohort members with a few select mentors every year. And this year’s mentors bring a lot of experience and expertise to the no-code table.
Learn more about the diverse team of Immerse Impact mentors — from founders who build venture-backed startups on Bubble to developers who use no-code to support million-dollar restaurant groups.
