Mistakenly Enrolled in Connect ISV Program — Requesting Reconsideration for Inception Program

Hi NVIDIA Team,

I’m Warren Moon, CEO of Referrow AI (referrow.com) — an early-stage AI hiring operations platform.

We mistakenly enrolled in the Connect ISV Program instead of NVIDIA Inception, and also inadvertently selected “Publicly Held” when we are a Privately Held company.

We’ve already reached out to both inceptionprogram@nvidia(dot)com and connectprogram@nvidia(dot)com to correct both issues, but wanted to flag this here as well in hopes of faster resolution.

Inception is clearly the right fit — we’re pre-scale, AI-native, and plan to build on NIM and NeMo as core infrastructure.

Happy to provide any additional details at warrenmoon@referrow.com.

Warren Moon
CEO, Referrow AI

Hi @TomNVIDIA @chrisb3

I would very happy if you could have a quick look into this issue.

I have forwarded your issue to the Inception team for help.
Thanks for your patience while this gets looked at.

Hi @TomNVIDIA,

Thank you so much for the quick response and for forwarding this to the Inception team — really appreciate it.

Just to add some context — our application was previously rejected, which I believe was a direct result of the registration errors mentioned above (wrong program + Publicly Held selected in error). We have since reapplied with all the correct details and I strongly feel we are eligible. Referrow is an incorporated, AI-native startup and a genuine fit for Inception. Please refer the new application to the Inception Team

Happy to provide any additional context, documentation, or a product walkthrough if it helps move things along.

Hi @warrenmoon,

Please note that with the team being at GTC, increased volume, reviews are taking longer than usual. The team is doing their best to get through requests as quickly as possible

Thanks for your patience.

I have the same issue and our start up focusing on home office automation AbiramiClub also got rejected at inception. It said not “eligible to reapply” but it was first application. All participation requirements are met and I reached out to program email, no response.

Thank you so much for your help and advice!
