Amanda Spann is America’s Leading App Educator—a serial entrepreneur, brand strategist, and advocate for underserved innovators. She has coached and created content for over 30,000 entrepreneurs across the U.S., Africa, and the Caribbean, empowering them to transform bold ideas into scalable ventures.
As the founder of The App Accelerator, Amanda helps professionals, small business owners, and non-technical creatives break into tech without coding experience.

Her efforts have been praised by billionaire philanthropist Robert F. Smith as a “Bridge to Opportunity.”
Amanda has also co-founded Tiphub, the first U.S.-based accelerator for immigrant founders, and served as CMO of Blerdology, launching the first hackathons for African-American technologists. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Essence, Ebony, NPR, and Business Insider.
Named to Business Insider’s 30 Most Important Women in Tech Under 30, Amanda is a proud graduate of Florida State University and Georgetown University.
