Our Inception application (Forenly AI, forenly.ai) was declined on May 28, 2026. The
notice said our organization “isn’t currently the right fit for the program” and that we
would be eligible to reapply after November 24, 2026. The application page now shows
“Not Eligible to Apply,” which is consistent with that.
I’m not contesting the decision — I’d just like to know what to fix.
We build a skill layer for humanoid robots: training and deploying manipulation skills on
Unitree G1 + Inspire hardware using Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab with the Newton physics engine.
We have live products and paying customers. We are not a consultancy, a reseller, or an
outsourced development firm.
Could someone from the Inception team share the specific reason for the decline, or point
me to which eligibility criterion we failed? Without that, I’d be guessing for the next
four months and would likely reapply with the same gap unaddressed.
I’ve also emailed Inceptionprogram@nvidia.com with the same question. Happy to share any
account or application details privately.
In our case, this was also our first NVIDIA Inception application, but we received a message saying our organization was “not eligible to reapply” without any specific reason.
We have contacted the Inception team and are still waiting for clarification. Without knowing the specific eligibility criterion that caused the decision, it is difficult for startups to understand what needs to be improved before applying again.
Seeing multiple applicants reporting similar situations (different rejection messages but no clear explanation) makes me wonder whether there is a broader issue with the review or validation process.
Hopefully the Inception team can provide more transparency on the specific reasons behind these decisions.
The application was rejected because no developer was listed in the application. Kindly refer to the Inception eligibility criteria, update the application accordingly, and reapply.
Hi@prateejain ，I already emailed inceptionprogram@nvidia.com about two weeks ago, but I haven’t received any response yet. Our application is for Deciq (https://deciq.app). Could you please kindly help check whether there is any specific reason behind the current status.
This is an NVIDIA Inception eligibility question, not a TensorRT runtime issue, so I’m moving the thread to Forum Feedback where the other recent Inception application threads are being handled:
You don’t need to repost; the thread will land in that queue.
For @bahadir2 (Forenly AI): @prateejain already replied in-thread that the decline was because no developer was listed on the application, and asked you to update and reapply per the eligibility criteria, with follow-up to inceptionprogram@nvidia.com.
For @aaron.wu1 (Deciq): Inception status and eligibility decisions are handled by the program team over email, not by TensorRT moderators on this category. Please keep using inceptionprogram@nvidia.com for your case. If you already mailed them and have not heard back, include your company name, application or account identifiers, and the exact portal status string in a follow-up so they can locate the record.
