Same opinions, first time with startup route rejected by the Home Office because endorsement did a mistake and even pre-action protocol has not helped. Now rejected by endorsement body second time - and the reasons are based on opinions based on nothing. Trying to find better suited endorsement body - maybe you can something advice them by paid brief consultation? :)
Hi Sohrab! You just articulating my pain and putting there in the world is liberating. I feel nice. Thank you! I am applying for the Innovator Founder this Oct. I agree with most of your points. Startup Visa did make logical sense as opposed to this new route where I am having to show market validation but then again I can't sell anything by law. Where I disagree with you is the cost. Oh man, the previous visa wasn't better! With unis and accelerators infesting the domain and charging £13000 to "join" their programme only after which they gave the endorsement letter. In a perfect world I would want to risk my limited resources quickly to test my idea quickly. And I think this new visa is the quickest way possible at least comparably. Your other point about VISA fees and health surcharge. Ya this one was total bullcrap. Come on. Overall, many thanks. I have your contact. I will reach out to you soon for collaborations.
Hi, I am getting courage to launch this visa. Could you help me? May I contact you. As you are just now applying you will guide me in perfect manner. Regards, Devendra
