The INSANE Rise of NVIDIA: From Bankruptcy to $4 Trillion? | Business case study @NVIDIA
A Think School business case study in which the presenter tells the story of NVIDIA, from a gaming-chip startup about 30 days from running out of cash to a company he says is worth over 4 trillion dollars. He covers the failed NV1 chip and Microsoft's DirectX, the untested RIVA 128 chip, the 1999 GeForce 256 GPU, the CUDA software platform launched in 2006, and the 2012 AlexNet moment that he says made GPUs central to modern AI. Sponsor: Odoo, an all-in-one business software platform, thanked mid-video for supporting the show. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note is based on the opening, the sponsor segment, the NV1 and DirectX section, the RIVA 128 section, the CUDA and AlexNet section, the closing and the description, and may not cover every point in the roughly 27 minute video. The company history, figures and opinions are the presenter's own and are not independently checked. Nothing here is financial or investment advice.
