First-Time NVIDIA Inception Application Incorrectly Flagged as a Reapplication

Community Information Forum Feedback

Hi，

We recently submitted our first application to the NVIDIA Inception program and received the following message:

“Based on the information you provided, your organization is not eligible to reapply to this program.”

This is confusing because **this is the first-ever NVIDIA Inception application submitted by our organization, Hive Blockchain LLC, for our product, Deciq (https://deciq.app）**We have never previously applied to the program.

Because the message specifically refers to “reapply,” we are concerned that our company may have been mistakenly matched with another organization or an existing record in your system.

Could you please review our application and confirm whether this was the result of an incorrect association or another issue?

As a suggestion, if the eligibility system relies primarily on organization names or other identifiers, it may be helpful to allow applicants to provide official incorporation documents or business registration records during the review process. This would help distinguish organizations with similar or potentially confusing names and reduce the likelihood of incorrect matches.

Thank you !

Hi @TomNVIDIA,

Thanks, I’ll reach out to the Inception team.

One concern is that if our first-ever application was incorrectly identified as a reapplication, this may not be an isolated case. It could potentially affect other first-time applicants as well. It may be worth bringing this to the Inception team’s attention in case there’s an issue with the eligibility matching process.

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing. It’s concerning to see multiple applicants reporting different validation issues.

I also noticed that a similar case in another forum thread was immediately escalated to the Inception team, while we were simply asked to contact the team ourselves and have been waiting for a response.

Have you heard back from the Inception team or managed to get your application reviewed?

Have you heard anything back from them since your reply?

I emailed the Inception team about my case more than 10 days ago, but I still haven’t received any response, so I’m wondering whether you’ve had any better luck.
