I am trying to structure my documents for OC1 innovation.
I cofounded two startups.
I am looking at the best way to structure.
Here is what I have
Product screenshots:
Startup 1: I have proof of the product in market which are dashboard screenshots. But one of the product is not currently live for independent assessment.
Startup2: I have proof of app screenshot
Media mentions:
Startup 1: I have media mention for startup one
Startup 2: I have media mentions of fundraising for startup two
Evidence files [it is okay to just upload these files on Google drive and put the link as evidence file in each of the 3 page document files]
For the evidence files I understand that it is one evidence per document but here is what I have;
Domestics and international Sales invoices for startup 1
CAC documents & Articles of association for startup1
Bank statement for startup 1 2019 - 2020
2 - 3 years General booking record for startup 1
Shareholders agreement for startup 1
Service level agreements.
The question:
How best do I present these (evidence files) to demonstrate that I have a proven track record or examples of innovation in the digital technology sector as a founder of a product-led digital technology company.
All the documents that you have shared are possible OC1 support documents.
The real question is how is/are the product(s) innovative?
Regarding
You just group the documents accordingly. One should be about the innovativeness of the product e.g. Patent, IP and/or process design + media mention(s).
The others could be registration and shareholding as well as traction in the form of domestic and international sales and audited statements.
My impression about innovation is that it requires self-evident supports such as those that I already mentioned. Because, the assessor may appraise a problem and the propose solution as not innovative especially if it’s only really “innovative” in a very small market.
Don’t forget that OC1 is about showing innovation, so emphasize it aptly.
Personally, I would like for a third-person evidence to support the innovation such as an award, a nomination (at the least), or media attention.
