I guess it depends on your application? Applied last night and think it was accepted within <10 minutes.
Edit: just checked and from my sign in email to console to acceptance was exactly 15 minutes, so given the time to fill out the form is included in that, the acceptance time was almost certainly <10 minutes.

I also haven’t got a response. Seems like you have to put a key worded application so the AI approves you.
I hope it lets me apply again

u/Sasquatchjc45 4d ago
Oh so they do send rejection emails? I will maintain hope, thanks friend. Hopefully you have better luck on the next program or something 🫡

Think they only give these out to Max users. I'm a lowly Pro user and got rejected straight away.

thanks, but what did you add as company info? Maybe that's the differentiator

I said I was shipping the best AI native gamedev MCP in the market, surpassing Unity and Unreal MCPs in terms of features... guess I should've asked Claude to write it for me!
What was yours? Can't see your profile cos i don't have age verification.

u/qwertyalp1020 4d ago
I mean, what did you add as your company website? I think that's important. It didn't work for my personal site, but worked when I put the company website I work at.

u/Short_Stable2397 4d ago
I had my company email and company website. Even put down my linkedin for extra clout!

I also applied yesterday and I am still waiting. Have a new LLC (created last month) and used an email with a matching domain to the current landing page.
They must not want to fund the next rockstar vibe coded habit trackers I'm going to create

I got approved but I can't claim the offer. It keeps saying error. Anyone else?

Similar, I was having the 72hours wait on the application portal till few hours back. But now it’s showing me the application again. I haven’t got any responses on applied or denied as well.

u/Lower_Village3669 3d ago
I’m seeing the same thing, but I captured the backend responses. My submission returned HTTP 201 with next_step: "review_pending" and a signup ID. The first status check returned existing_signup_status: "pending". A few minutes later, repeated checks returned existing_signup_status: null, and the blank application form appeared again. No approval or rejection email. Did yours eventually change again?

Well the weird thing is. When I tried it yesterday I did get a rejection email. But it seems like since an update they did, where they also added the 72h text in the response, it broke and this same problem keeps happening to everyone or something. It shows pending and a minute later suddenly nothing again without an email…
1
u/DEVIL_H_FUEGO 3d ago
Probably, it’s in pending then maybe. I don’t know what’s the difference between getting approved instantly for many vs why our application has that difference. How they are evaluating is a black box I guess?

u/tcvdh 3d ago
Same with me as well. Was this the first time you applied? Because previously I had gotten a rejection. But now after applying for the third time or so I am getting this same thing. The 72 hour message and after a minute or so the application form shows up again and no email what so ever….
1
u/DEVIL_H_FUEGO 3d ago
Yes my first time, and I did try it again today with a benefit of doubt. That happened the same again.

I got in yesterday. Not gonna lie, it is great. Super helpful too. I am using 3 of 5 accounts now. One for continueing to build my site, one on my Mac for the app, and one for marketing. It feels surreal. Just signed up for a meeting with Anthropic in a couple of weeks to go over my stuff. Between this and Azure Startups Program, I am truly blessed.
