Hello All,
Can you ever come across or personally got stage1 endorsed with service company background( e.g, "xxxxxxxxxxxx)?
or can you share your viewpoint on what exact Product-led digital company means?
Hi Vijay,
This is Something which I was worried about a few weeks back. Even I have written to Tech nation which I got no reply. But I found this in Technation Guide for QC1 which gave me relief. As per below, they don't look company for a Technical applicant. Apply soon as the rules are changing from 1st Dec.
Tech Nation will distinguish whether you are a technical applicant (whether your occupation requires you to write code or manage developers) or whether you are a business applicant (any occupation within a product-led digital technology company that doesn’t require you to write code).
Please note that the term ‘significant contribution’ in this criteria requires you to demonstrate impact, not necessarily innovation. This is different from Key Criteria 1 where you are required to demonstrate high levels of innovation, not necessarily impact. If these are your chosen criteria then your evidence should clearly demonstrate this differentiation. Submitting the same evidence for both criteria may not be sufficient if it does not meet these different requirements.
Technical examples of a “significant contribution” include:
Having led in the development of high-impact digital products or services;
Starting or contributing to open source projects in a way that has been acknowledged by peers as advancing the field;
Having worked as a key engineer in the core product of a start-up, showing evidence as to how you have contributed to its success.
Documents that will be considered as acceptable evidence include (please provide more than one piece of evidence. The list below contains suggestions – other types of documents can be submitted):
Employment contract with salary information including any bonus and equity options (although you will have to demonstrate how you have gone beyond your day-to-day activities to demonstrate that you have made a significant impact in the sector);
Letter from an employer wherever applicable. This is in addition to the required letters of endorsement and should to be written by another individual;
Documentation on product designs or architecture diagram clearly showing your contribution. Please ensure this evidence is no more than three A4 pages long and demonstrates your personal work, not that of the company or team of individuals;
GitHub account that contains lines of code clearly showing your continuing contribution.
Business examples of a “significant contribution” include:
Having led or played a key role in the growth of a product-led digital technology company, such as influencing investment and strategy or delivering major products or releases;
Having founded a successful product-led digital technology company or other organization and leading it.
Documents that will be considered as acceptable evidence include (please provide more than one piece of evidence. The list below contains suggestions – other types of documents can be submitted):
Employment contract containing salary information including any bonus and equity options
Letter from an employer wherever applicable. This is in addition to the required letters of endorsement and should be written by another individual;
Documents detailing your significant contribution towards commercial success (such as evidence of sales pipeline built and delivered, growth generated, leads generated, processes developed, and implemented).
