Hello NVIDIA Inception Team,
I recently received notice that our application to the NVIDIA Inception program was not approved. I respect the review process and understand that eligibility criteria must be applied consistently.
I am seeking clarification regarding our eligibility, as Redacted AI Solutions, LLC is a Michigan-based AI infrastructure company currently transitioning into a tech incubator in East Lansing to scale deployment of GPU-accelerated, air-gapped LLM systems for regulated professional services.
Our stack is built entirely on NVIDIA hardware and CUDA-accelerated local inference. We focus on:
-
Enterprise on-prem LLM deployment
-
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows
-
Hardware-aware optimization for secure environments
Given our infrastructure-first approach and reliance on NVIDIA GPUs, we believe our work aligns closely with the objectives of the Inception program.
If possible, I would appreciate guidance on:
-
Specific eligibility criteria we may not have met
-
Whether additional documentation, traction, or milestones would support reconsideration
-
Recommended next steps to qualify in the near term
We have a technical brief and deployment overview available upon request.
Thank you for your time and for supporting early-stage AI infrastructure companies.
Respectfully,
Ralph Luketic
Founder, Redacted AI Solutions
