NVIDIA Inception Program for AI Startups

NVIDIA Inception supports startups building with NVIDIA technology. Benefits include free self-paced technical courses and discounted expert-led workshops, preferred pricing on selected NVIDIA hardware and software, cloud credits from NVIDIA and partners, partner offers, and possible introductions to venture capital firms.

Eligibility: officially incorporated, under 10 years old, with a working website, a clear use case for NVIDIA technology, and at least one founder actively operating the company. A pitch deck and funding status are required; revenue is not. Any funding stage can apply. NVIDIA lists no country restrictions, so Mauritius-based startups can apply.

Not eligible: consulting and outsourced development firms, cryptocurrency-related companies, cloud service providers, resellers and distributors, and public companies.

Cost: free, with no equity or membership fee.
