Our take

In 1993, Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem founded Nvidia to define the direction of the next wave of computing using 3D graphics. Their invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing.

In 2001 Nvidia released the GeForce 3, the first graphics card to include a pixel shader; this innovation shrunk the size of GPUs and caused a huge increase in graphics card performance. GPU computing went on to ignite modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world.

Today, NVIDIA is over 17,000 people strong and growing. In 2018, they were included among Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For,” Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies,” and MIT Tech Review’s “50 Smartest Companies". Their recent acquisition of ARM, a UK-based CPU chip manufacturer with expertise in cloud computing, will allow them to expand their AI computing much further across the globe reaching many more people and devices.
