In April 1993, Jensen Huang cofounded NVIDIA with microchip designers Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, who chose Huang to be the company’s CEO. Their original goal was to create GPUs for the video game industry. The founders began with $40,000 in capital and later received an initial $20 million investment from venture capital firms. NVIDIA survived difficult early years, established itself in the semiconductor industry, and became a public company in 1999.
