Clarification about the TechNation Note : "Note: Whilst you can use multiple documents to support each criteria, each document must only contain a single piece of related evidence."

Dear All,

many thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts. I am in the process of uploading evidence files and I saw a Note in the TechNAtion application’s form that roughly says:

Note: Whilst you can use multiple documents to support each criteria, each document must only contain a single piece of related evidence.

f83fc496-c13c-4246-8fd3-d62cf3a8be5e

In some of the documents, I put two reference letters in one document, addressing and confirming one topic. for instance: For one of the Mandatory criteria documents, after a brief explanation about my startup and myself I put two reference letters and one certificate (Knowledge-intensive company) all arranged in 3 pages.

  • A reference letter from my co-founder which confirmed my role and contribution
  • Another reference letter from a Director of the Technology Incubator where we were a member of them. confirming my role contributions and startup achievements.
  • Certificate of a Knowledge-intensive company

Please kindly advise me, on what I should do now based on the TechNation expectation. can I proceed with the TechNation process or do I need to revise my documents and remove extra pieces of reference letters and evidence that I put in one document?

Thanks a lot

Kow is the certificate of knowledge intensive company related to the evidence. Avoid putting things not related to the evidence in the same documents. Sometimes people are tempted to lump multiple evidence into one documents because they want to show everything they have or strengthen their application, it may be confusing for assessor. I think the note is asking you to avoid ambiguity and present evidence that clearly meer the criteria.
