Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, NVIDIA is a powerful example of what’s possible when bold vision meets entrepreneurial courage.
What began as a startup focused on advanced graphics for gaming has grown into one of the most influential technology companies in the world.
From a Global Entrepreneurship Week Nevada perspective, NVIDIA’s story is especially inspiring.
Lauren grew up playing video games powered by NVIDIA graphics—an early reminder of how innovation-driven companies can shape culture, creativity, and entire industries.
Today, that same company is at the forefront of the AI revolution, powering artificial intelligence, generative models, data centers, healthcare innovation, autonomous vehicles, and the future of work itself.
Pictured here, with Lauren alongside Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s co-founder and CEO. His journey embodies the core spirit of Global Entrepreneurship Week: thinking boldly, taking calculated risks, and building solutions that scale globally while starting with a single idea.
As we continue to celebrate entrepreneurship across Nevada and beyond, NVIDIA stands as proof that startups create companies, ecosystems, opportunities, and lasting global impact.
