Start offers both in-person and online opportunities for developers to grow their skills and achieve their vision. Our goal is to holistically support your app’s development so you can move faster in publishing your VR or MR app to the Meta Horizon Store.

The Meta Start program really set us up for success. The community of developers, Meta’s team, and an abundance of resources were so incredibly helpful. Swordsman wouldn't have had the impact it did on the Meta Quest ecosystem had we not been a part of the Meta Start program."

Without the Start program, we wouldn't be where we are today. We received tremendous support and guidance throughout the journey, helping us navigate the challenging path that led to a successful Store game."

Pixel Works

Starting out as a solo developer without any connections to other indies, especially those also active on Quest, is quite lonesome. The Discord community on Start allowed me to chat with other people on the same journey, some of which I now speak with daily about business, development, and life. That is an invaluable resource!”
