# Graphify accepted into NVIDIA Inception: what it means

*November 2, 2026 · Syed Fahad*

Your coding agent can write a function in seconds. Ask it what else breaks when that function changes, and it starts grepping. That gap between writing code and knowing the codebase is the whole reason Graphify exists, and today we have some news that helps us close it faster.

**Graphify Labs, Inc. has been accepted into [NVIDIA Inception](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/startups/), NVIDIA's program for startups building with AI.** NVIDIA approved us on November 2, 2026.

It's a short sentence to write. It means a lot to a small team. Here's what the program actually is, why it fits what we build, and what it means for you.

## What is NVIDIA Inception?

NVIDIA Inception is a free program that guides AI startups through the NVIDIA platform and ecosystem, from prototype to production. A few things people often get wrong about it:

* It's free. NVIDIA says there are no application fees or membership fees.
* NVIDIA takes no equity.
* There are no cohorts and no deadlines. Startups join when they're ready, not as a batch.

So this isn't an accelerator class or an investment. It's access.

## What do Inception members get?

Per [NVIDIA's startup page](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/startups/), members get:

* **Training** through the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI), including free self paced courses
* **SDKs**, model libraries and developer platforms
* **Preferred pricing** on select NVIDIA hardware and software
* **Cloud credits** from NVIDIA and its partners
* **Investor exposure** through NVIDIA's VC network, based on eligibility

## Why does this fit Graphify?

Graphify is a [code knowledge graph](https://graphify.com/blog/what-is-a-code-knowledge-graph). It parses your repo into functions, classes, files and the links between them (who calls what, who imports what, what depends on what) and gives that structure to you and to your AI coding agents through [MCP](https://graphify.com/mcp). Instead of guessing from text that looks similar, your agent can ask the graph a real question and get a real answer with a file and a line.

Building that well is a lot of compute and a lot of careful engineering: parsing big repos fast, keeping the graph fresh as code changes, and serving answers to agents quickly enough that they actually use them. Inception's training, SDKs and partner credits support exactly that work.

Joining Inception isn't a pivot. It's a multiplier on what we were already building.

## What does this mean for you?

Honestly, nothing changes about how you use Graphify today.

* Same hosted app, same workspace, same plans.
* The open source Graphify CLI stays open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
* What should change is how fast Graphify gets better.

## What's next?

Inception is a first step, not a finish line. Over the coming months we'll be using what the program offers to keep improving how Graphify builds and serves the graph for bigger codebases and more agents. We'll share what we learn here on the blog as we go.

Thanks to everyone who has tried Graphify, filed issues and told us what their agents still get wrong. You're the reason we keep building.

## Try Graphify

The quickest way in is the hosted app. Open [app.graphify.com](https://app.graphify.com), connect a repo, and ask your codebase a question.

Prefer to run it on your own machine? Install the [open source Graphify CLI](https://github.com/Graphify-Labs/graphify):

```bash
uv tool install graphifyy
# or with pip
pip install graphifyy
```
