NVIDIA Inception application auto-declined instantly - a plea for reconsideration

Hello NVIDIA Inception team,

I’m the founder of Guth Labs LLC, a newly formed California company building a local-first, provider neutral AI workspace for persistent agents, source-linked memory, bounded actions, evaluation, and auditable receipts that you can easily inspect.

Our application was declined almost immediately without a stated reason, which makes me concerned it may have been filtered automatically before the product and NVIDIA use case were reviewed. We are pre-revenue, but we have active Windows and Apple prototypes, local-model inference and evaluation workflows, and a concrete NVIDIA roadmap involving CUDA, TensorRT-LLM, NIM, batch replay across latency, cost, quality, and failure measurements, accelerated embeddings and multimodal evaluation, and later LoRA qualification.

I understand that the program has eligibility requirements, and I am not asking for an exception to them. I’m asking whether a staff member can confirm that the rejection was reviewed correctly and, if appropriate, reconsider the application or tell me which requirement we did not meet so we can address it before reapplying.
