This is the story of NVIDIA — a company that survived on the edge of collapse, reinvented computing multiple times, and quietly positioned itself at the center of the artificial intelligence revolution long before the world knew it was coming.

Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, NVIDIA bet everything on graphics when CPUs ruled the world. Early failures nearly sank the company, but a single breakthrough — the RIVA 128 — kept it alive. From there, NVIDIA became synonymous with gaming performance, shaping digital culture and defining what a GPU could do.

But the real game-changer was invisible at first: CUDA. Launched in 2006, this platform allowed GPUs to handle general-purpose computation — a decision that would quietly lay the foundation for AI, neural networks, and the largest computational workloads of the 21st century.

In this video, we explore:
• How NVIDIA survived near bankruptcy
• The rise of the GeForce brand and gaming dominance
• CUDA and the creation of the GPU-as-a-platform ecosystem
• Why NVIDIA became the backbone of AI long before the boom
• The structural moat that makes it hard to displace
• Stock performance, growth waves, and market expectations
• Risks, competition, and the challenge of executing in a high-stakes industry

NVIDIA didn’t follow trends. It created the conditions for them to exist. From near collapse to powering artificial intelligence, NVIDIA stands not as a bystander — but as the engine beneath the future.

This is the story of NVIDIA — a company that once fought for survival, and now accelerates the future, one impossible computation at a time.
