Amanda Spann | Founder, The App Accelerator | Author, I Have an App Idea

I'm Amanda Spann, a serial app entrepreneur, author, and business strategist who's spent my career helping people turn big ideas into real businesses.

I’ve coached, consulted, and created entrepreneurial education content reaching more than 30,000 entrepreneurs, while gaining experience with organizations including IBM, Wells Fargo, Concur, and Techstars. From building my own technology ventures to working alongside startups and established enterprises, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to bring an idea to market and what can go wrong along the way.

I created The App Accelerator to make app entrepreneurship more accessible to everyday innovators, especially those without technical backgrounds. My goal is to help you understand the process, avoid costly mistakes, ask smarter questions, and build with the confidence of someone who knows what they’re doing, even if you’ve never written a line of code.

Started and Got Stuck? You’re in the Right Place.

Whether you’re worried about wasting money, hiring the wrong developer, or spending another year trying to figure things out, we’ll help you understand the process and take the next step.
