First you have three years experience so you are not eligible for exceptional talent. You need to read the tech nation guide and work on your evidence. How does Financial projection and pitch deck demonstrate that you are a leader. In all the evidence you have provided for OC1 and OC3 are not sufficient to endorse you for exceptional talent. I do not work for Tech Nation, my feedback is based on the requirement stated in the guide.
OC1: I do not know if you can give examples of how to show this because in the document i plan to submit for OC1. It explains what the startup is about and how it is quite unique, it also shows proof of the app in market and traction.
OC3: Yes i will show my Github contribution.
Any comment on my mandatory evidences?
1) How do I demonstrate that I have a proven track record or examples of innovation in the digital technology sector as a founder or senior executive of a product-led digital technology company or an employee working in a new digital field or concept?
You can demonstrate this by providing evidence of any genuine and significant product-led digital technology businesses you have established as a founder or senior executive which is currently active or has been dissolved in the last five years. Any company provided as evidence should demonstrate a level of income beyond solely covering the applicant’s salary and must have been commercially successful or otherwise demonstrate how the applicant meets the endorsement criteria.
Examples of relevant evidence include:
Evidence of innovation/product development, proof of product in market and associated traction through revenue.
Evidence for each business should include your last set of audited accounts, projections for current financial year and articles of association.
Evidence of domestic and/or international sales should show customer numbers for each country in which the company is operating, including a ranking of your distribution channels with a breakdown of when these sales were achieved for each channel (i.e. online, physical retail, 3rd party distributors, resellers etc.).
Evidence of employment contract with salary information including any bonus and equity options and history of earnings.
Papers or patent applications which have been made solely to support the timing of your application are unacceptable.
If you are an employee working in a new digital field or concept, this must be clearly demonstrated, for example by providing a patent application (patent should include verifiable ID on Google Patents).
