Hi Guys, Hope you are having a wonderful day. I have been creating all the possible evidence that i can but now i am not able to categorize them in a proper way. So i will list down all of them there please if you can give me them a category(MC,OC1 …)
Basic information:

List of all Evidences.
1. Contract High Salary

4. Co-Founder at X

Mentions other Co-Founder as well. One of them is my wife who is data analyst and a marketing specialist. Can that be a plus point that dependent is talented as well?
5. ESOPs
I received at my previous company; It was not based on time you have to spend in the company; It was based on how much value you bring on the table and how innovative my ideas were. I communicated that well in the document. Added link to the CEO post on linkedIn and him explaining this same thing. ESOPs were given on a keynote event. Added link to that publication, photos of the event. Just to make it memorable There was a necklace given added photos of that and more other basic stuff.
6. Event participation
Participated at Gitex three years in a row as a exhibitor, I have images of badge and standing in a group photo. I was a very crucial member of this but i feel this evidence in reality its strong but can’t make it strong on paper. Maybe link it with reference letter?

Moderate view around 4k, 5k etc.
8. Award for ABC at X
One of the product i worked on Won price of most innovative solution in the region. There is publication for it but doesn’t mentions my name it. In the reference letter i got from the CTO of the same company he wrote a paragraph of my impact and ownership on this product and he mentioned because of that we won the award.
9. Innovative product - In Private Aviation.
Well worked on product related to private aviation, i explained this industry is super outdated and mostly done over whatsApp or phone calls, we not only automated the whole process but also move away from traditional ways of building mobile apps.
