I submitted a proposal on someone’s behalf today. It all seemed straightforward and I really appreciate the simplicity of the process!
However, the form said that “A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided” and no such email was received. (It did not get caught in a spam filter, as far as we can tell. I’m part of a team and pasted in the email address of the designated leader.)
I got the ‘Your response has been recorded’ screen, so I am pretty sure that submission worked, but I cannot help wondering if I made some strange error entering the email address or if there was some other glitch. If there is some good way to further confirm that our application was received and is complete that would be welcome.
Semirelated question: Do you expect to provide explicit rejection notifications for projects that you choose not to fund?
I see from your FAQ that you “usually don’t provide feedback because we have a small team and face capacity constraints”, which makes total sense. I also see that you anticipate making a ‘revise and resubmit’ decision on some proposals. I am rather asking about sending applicants a ‘Sorry not interested’ note.
It might be nice to do this, though I understand it may end up being logistically impossible.

Same thing happened to me, and wondering if the application was for sure received. It would be awesome to know from someone at FTX.
The email with the responses eventually came through, after a delay, so I am all set. Sorry for the noise.
Good to know. I will be patient then to see if the copy came through today. Thank you for this post!
