This isn’t a template.
It’s not generic filler.
It’s not legal advice either.
It’s real-world, been-there-done-that experience from someone who did it, helped others do it, and packaged it into a clear, actionable DIY system.
								 
				
									Who This Guide Is Really For?
Let’s be clear: this guide is not for everyone.
 
This DIY system was created specifically for:
✅ People currently working in product-led tech companies
✅ Applicants with business or technical roles looking to apply through Tech Nation
✅ Future applicants who may not yet be working in a product-led company — but want to understand the path and prepare ahead
 
If you’re not in tech or have zero interest in building your eligibility, this isn’t for you.
 
But if you’re serious about applying — or planning to apply in the near future — this guide will give you a proven roadmap and everything you need to confidently structure your endorsement application.
 
“I got my endorsement as a business applicant (Marketer), while my younger brother got his as a technical applicant (Product Designer). Both routes are fully covered in this guide.”
