Hi @Alejandro
Your application structure needs rejigging and elaboration.
In MC, as a founder, you should also add founder equity shareholding, investment docs that show investment in POC, company registration and financial audit docs. Media coverage is good! Is the award by a leading recognized body?
In OC1, you need to demonstrate a. What was innovative b. Your individual contribution to that innovation c. Impact of the innovation/market traction/success. These need to be backed by third party evidences like media coverage, pictures, proof of product in market and letters.
Your OC2 is weak. Erasmus fellowship doesn’t indicate advancement to sector. Mentorship is considered only if it’s part of a structured mentorship program. The speaking invite is good if it was a large tech event. I would move all these to MC instead of attempting OC2 where these evidences won’t meet the bar.
In OC3, forecasted or planned pilots don’t work. A successful pilot leading to a commercial contract and revenue will work instead. Startup competitions are also not valid in this criteria. You need to demonstrate your contribution to core company metric increase like revenue increase, client increase, etc. again this should be supported by external proofs like pictures, letters. Please use couple of examples from your startup where you can display commercial impact in quantified value along with letters from clients who have benefitted.
Your current outline needs massive rework and better aligned evidences tied together to create a strong and valid application,
