People, if you are not aware, 50% gender balance is deemed to be insufficient by some evaluators at EIC Accelerator. Just FYI.

How I sign by projects off vs how they come back after evaluation

How many of you have read this sentence and thought that the project received 4/4 GOs? "I have the pleasure to inform you that the 4 experts assigned to the evaluation of your Accelerator step 1 proposal have returned an overall "GO" recommendation."

Wisdom shared over Chinese hot pot: "It's better to have a hole than an asshole in the team." #truthhasbeenspoken

Time to take some popcorn and watch #eicaccelerator drama 🍿

The sheer number of grown-up people who do not know what a "task" is terrifies me.

Evaluator 1: There is an inadequate representation of women and men. (huh, I guess the rest are robots?) Evaluator 2: We can see a fair representation of women in the core team.

We thank the reviewers for their helpful suggestions

There are 3 types of evaluators: 1. Writes a novel in response. A conclusion is not always reached. 2. Writes one sentence in the report. Gives a GO. 3. Knows less than the applicant about the technology, market & EIC. Doesn't fully read the proposal. Gives a NO GO.

A very random question, but what a "higher education establishments dealer" means on the EIC portal? 🤔

I want a movie about this. Or a Netflix show. It has everything: the dream, the hope, the drama and the crushing defeat. #EICAccelerator

@IreneLarroy @arematys Oh, this is brilliant. Painful but brilliant.

My thoughts and prayers to everyone receiving the evaluation reports right now for EIC Accelerator October cases. My blood rages.

@MarkCloWriting Sails strategy 😎

@MarkCloWriting Oh no. Probably that evaluator also skipped the whole go-to-market section 😵

@Fiona79ca @ai_eic They are in bad luck, I guess 🙃

I think we need an @ai_eic to flag obviously conflicting evaluator statements and kick off an additional evaluation round

Getting positive comments in the evaluation reports be like

Just wanted to share a short poem by my friend. May he be blessed 🙏

@arematys It would be good to make those evaluators have consensus meetings and defend their comments, no? Will put that on my Christmas wishlist 🎅

@AnnEvaLutor I feel you! The fact that there's no appeal procedure for the unjustified and senseless evaluations blows away my internal feeling of common sense...
