Rapyd Champions are the voice of the developer community
Led by the Rapyd Developer Relations team, the Rapyd Developer Champion Program invites developers currently building with Rapyd to be part of an exclusive, one-year Developer Champion program that offers special access to our Developer Relations and Product teams and early access to new features and capabilities.
How To Apply
Champions will be evaluated and selected through a submission process, and we ask you to make good-faith acceptance and be recognized within our developer community through specific venues and activities, such as highlighting of work with Rapyd in our developer forum and blog.
Developer Champions Will Be Given Special Access to Our Developer Relations Team, and They’ll Also Have Some Access to:
- Appreciation. Rest assured you will as our Developer Champion you will get recognized in our developer community as experts on Rapyd products and tools.
