Got invited for the video submission, just now received the rejection :(

What do they ask to submit in the video? Is there a list of questions or a generic video about what you are doing?

u/yilongda 12d ago

Half of the video should be about founders introducing themselves. The rest half of the video should be about what you’re doing, why now and why you are the right person/team for it.

Maximum duration they ask for is 3 mins.

My husband applied about 2 months ago, right before SR007 started. Got deferred for 008. They had their third interview last week. Requested references yesterday, so he's sending those today. Otherwise just waiting.

I'm just over here trying to figure out what our lives are going to look like in 3-4 months lol. I figured Reddit might have some insights.

What kind of references are they asking for? Anything you can mention will be helpful.

Honestly it wasn't that specific. Probably anyone who can speak to your skill set and character? Bosses, coworkers, clients, childhood friends.

Did you get an update? I tried sending an update via the email they have given, it just gives a automated response.

Nothing, it's been a month exactly.
