When making a decision on your application, Tech Nation will assess that you meet the eligibility criteria. It will also consider the following factors:

• your career history - for example the international reputation and impact of your work
• the strength of the statements in your recommendation letter and of the evidence in support of your application
• how you’ll contribute to UK digital technology by being based in the UK
• personal factors such as your academic track record, salary level and company you’re being hired by, or amount of money raised if an entrepreneur
• the commercial impact of your previous work, achievements and experiences

You should provide financial documentation and proof of earnings to enable Tech Nation to assess the strength of your application where evidence relates to business ownership, commercial contracts, employment contracts, revenue history, product/market traction, or financing history in the case of investments or funds. For work within a startup, the company’s capital raised and revenues should be provided. Any statements regarding your previous or future impact on the UK digital technology sector should be supported by relevant evidence where possible.

All currencies contained within evidence should be converted to GBP where possible, or a summary of appropriate conversion rates provided.

The following examples indicate the type of evidence that could be assessed by Tech Nation when considering the criteria for either Exceptional Talent or Exceptional Promise. These examples are not exhaustive and alternative relevant evidence can be supplied to demonstrate you meet the relevant criteria.
