NVIDIA

Activity from announced rounds

Activity in this selectionUnited States · Oct 23, 2026 · Jan 1, 2026

NVIDIA builds the processors, systems and software used to train and run AI. Its startup relationships combine corporate investment with access to an accelerated-computing ecosystem.

Founders can approach its venture capital arm, NVentures, for investment in technology businesses. NVIDIA also operates Inception, a free programme offering technical training, selected hardware and software pricing benefits, and introductions through its VC Alliance.

Inception has no equity requirement. Applicants need an incorporated company, a working website, an actively involved founder and a use case for NVIDIA technology; a startup can join before it has revenue or starts using NVIDIA products. Membership provides development resources rather than an automatic investment.
