NVIDIA

Activity from announced rounds

All recorded activity

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.
