Please Review for Edtech founder & Digital Marketer

Stage 1
1

Mandatory Criteria:

  • Leading an Edtech startup to 4K users
  • Awards with a notable individual as the presenter of the award
  • Speaking at a conference in two countries
  • Panel Speaker at the same conference but a different country - 3rd country (help needed here please will this be accepted)
    Optional Criteria (Recognition):
  • Advisory Board of a startup + Mentorship at startup event
  • Multiple Media Recognition
  • Keynote Speaker at digital marketing conference
    OC (Significant Impact):
  • Thought Leadership through the social media following
  • TEDx speaker
  • I can’t decide between A) Mentorship (I can prove this with pictures but it seems they have harsh criteria on this) & B) Digital copy of books sold (I can’t prove this has sold thousands of copies because I did not keep records but I can prove from my payment process about 150 copies sold - I could support this with a reference letter?)

Please which one should I choose for the last OC and do you feel the last MC is good?
Or should I switch things up? Expecting great replies… Thanks a ton.

  1. mentorship needs to be through a structured program where there’s a selection of mentees. You need to meet their criteria of mentorship, if not best to avoid.

  2. depends what kind of book, is it to do with digital tech? Big publisher etc

Not sure what you mean by last OC as OC4 is about academic research. Most of the above evidence will suit MC.

Thank you for your reply! I think I’ll really avoid the Mentorship part. But I could position it as a Local Meetup or works outside my profession?

I’m not answering OC4… I’m strictly answering Recognition & Significant Impact.

And for the book, it is a digital marketing book. I just re-released it with a publisher and put it on Amazon. Formerly it was just a book that sold a lot in my community (3k+ sales)

Local meetups are not part of the TN guidelines. Please go through the official guidelines to understand the kind of examples of evidences considered for criteria success.

You mentioned last OC in you question “which one should I choose for the last OC and do you feel the last MC is good?” which is OC4 as per guidelines. Please clarify the OC number you are asking about in your question to receive more relevant feedback.

Hi @Golibe_Ilechukwu

to be able to assess your application, better to first go through the guide, and divide your evidences into 3 categories, mandatory and 2 optional.

OC3 (significant contribution) … I’m trying to add the last piece of evidence to it but can’t figure out something solid

In terms of the conference speaking, are these sector leading events with online footprints?
Leading edtech with 4k user is not same as generating revenue m is the revenue company enough to pay your salary?
