My advise to you is to give yourself 6 months to 1 year and focus on networking, participating in tech events as a speaker and panelist, try to get featured on top online news media in your country and more.
This is because most of what you have given are media mentions and/or grant and awards won by companies you worked for which is not specifically about you but about the companies, etc.
Tech Nation really wants to see evidences that are focused on you and not majorly on the Startups and companies you are working for or work with. Get to work and apply in the next 6 months to 1 year. The keyword here is get to work. Make every day and week count from now to 6 months and you will have more compelling evidence to apply with that the accessors will have no chance to reject but to approve your application. Tech Nation has become more strict in recent months.

What evidence are you providing for the mandatory criteria? Which optional two optional criteria do you have evidence for?

  1. Were you mentioned in the media article or just something about your company.

So far, it appears you do not have sufficient evidence to meet the criteria. Break your evidence into three Mandatory and 2 optional criteria that way we can critique it further.

Just to clarify the new clipping is about the company, the CEO is more of the face of the company(that is one of my major issue right now)
Thanks for the quick response.
