Every legendary company begins with a decision.


In 1993, three engineers founded a small graphics company with a bold vision. Just a few years later, NVIDIA was on the verge of collapse. Running out of cash and facing overwhelming competition, its future looked uncertain.

So how did that struggling startup become one of the most valuable companies in the world?

In this episode of The Forge Files, we explore NVIDIA's extraordinary journey—from near bankruptcy to powering the AI revolution. We'll uncover the leadership of Jensen Huang, the game-changing decision behind CUDA, and the long-term thinking that transformed NVIDIA into a global technology leader.
