URGENT last minute questions

Stage 1
1

  1. How can i show "my contribution’ to architectural diagrams or product designs when i don’t have access to systems in previous employment anymore? I have got diagrams downloaded on my laptop but i do not know how to prove these are ‘my diagrams or my own work’?

  2. If providing funding evidence as a bootstrapped entrepreneur, does this go into Mandatory criteria?

  3. Can you show multiple cut and pasted screenshots in one line as theres no space?

  4. If i do not have access to any analytics to show growth of a non profit organization, will media coverage do?

  1. What supporting evidence do you have to back that it’s your contribution?
  2. Depends what’s the context and narrative of evidence
  3. As long as it’s legible
  4. Does the media have your name? What other backing evidence do you have?

What supporting evidence do you have to back that it’s your contribution? : Timestamp of these diagrams existing on my gmail account (say from 3 years ago) + colleague reference

Depends what’s the context and narrative of evidence: i do not have a term sheet or funding from any investor yet, so the context here is to show TN that i am bootstrapping and the narrative is centered around my own bootstrapped funds till my MVP is developed for whose figma designs are ready and i am trying to show financial viability of my startup through other secured small grants and access to my own personal funds (timestamp of 7th December)

Does the media have your name? What other backing evidence do you have?

Yes, they mention my name, and have also mentioned how many article views i have got (which the media gave me by email as the only proof of the number of viewership)

Can i combine evidences in one document for one company i worked in?

Say, I provide architectural diagrams, a media screenshot and link, and two colleague references in those 3 pages for ONE evidence under MC or OC1? And do the same for MC or OC3?

5

@May @pahuja, for OC1, can i show my incubator agreement as one of the evidences? As i was accepted into this incubator program in London which helps AI startups ?

Or would it come under MC?

What about Financial protections and a partnership terms of engagement (with a potential business where i ll trial out my services) under OC1?

Also, i have got pending questions from yesterday or two days ago …my time is running out, i hope you all can understand my situation.

Hi @Ankita_Sharma I would highly recommend going through the TN guidelines thoroughly to understand the kind of evidences valid under each criteria.

OC1 is about demonstrating your role in a product or digital innovation. Whatever you have mentioned above could be supporting add-ons but do not really prove your contribution to innovation.

I am applying under promise , thats why i cant show much under OC1

8

It doesn’t matter which route you are applying to/if you can’t demonstrate what’s asked in the criteria it’s not valid evidence.

@pahuja : I responded to your questions, are they okay?

Can i combine evidences in one document for one company i worked in?

Say, I provide architectural diagrams, a media screenshot and link, and two colleague references in those 3 pages for ONE evidence under MC or OC1? And do the same for MC or OC3?

It’s ok there’s no such issue. Each document should meet the criteria that’s the key, how you structure is upto you.

11

@pahuja : Can i give 4 mandatory recommendation letters instead of 3? So i can create one more space for a document?

Kindly go through the TN guidelines carefully.
