01Is this for a founder, startup entrepreneur, self-employed person, freelancer, company owner or another business profile?
Answer not available
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- The 2016 experimental procedure described a founder conversion, but its stated three-year pilot term and the separate current B/2 Innovation and high-tech employee programmes do not establish a current B/1 founder route or an in-country switch.
What must actually exist or be demonstrated: business plan, company, innovation, clients, contracts, economic activity, job creation or other substance?
Answer not available

Limits of the record- A current founder-specific B/1 authorisation and the role of any Innovation Authority recommendation in that B/1 process are not established by these current programme pages; generic high-tech employer criteria cannot be transplanted.
What investment, capital, income, revenue, funding or viability evidence is central to this pathway?
Answer not available

Limits of the record- The new-company form 102/auditor-document exception came from the 2016 experimental procedure. No current founder-specific investment, turnover or exemption rule is established by the reviewed current sources.
What business/self-employed activity may the holder conduct? Are there important restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

Limits of the record- The 2016 pilot described wages in an employing company after B/2 Innovation, but the current programmes do not show that a founder may switch in-country to B/1 or work in their own company on that basis.
What approval/application sequence applies, how long is the status granted, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction is officially stated?
Answer not available
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- The 2016 pilot’s three-month-prior application, in-country B/2-to-B/1 conversion and 63-month extension path have not been matched to the current 2024 Innovation Visa programme. The separate generic high-tech expert programme is not a proven founder progression.
