Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, we're talking about

NVIDIA's AI investments. They have made over 67 venture deals. And I think over 54 of them

they made across all of 2024. Today on the show, I want to break down all of the investments

that NVIDIA has made, who they've invested in, how much they've invested in, what happened to those companies. And this comes as, you know, there's a lot of talk about kind of this money round-tripping that's going on where essentially Nvidia will give money to companies that are going to just turn around and give the money back to Nvidia to buy GPUs for compute for AI. So there's a lot of interesting things going on in this story. We're going to break down all of them. And I think a lot of them you may not have even realized in video was involved with. So we're going to get into that. Before we do, if you want to build AI tools without knowing how to code, go check out AIbox.a.i. This is my own startup. If you have an idea for a tool, whether that's an newsletter

generator or that's a way to automate something else you do at work, think of it as more

complex GPTs, but you also can use every AI model and link them all together. That sounds

interesting to you. Go check out AI. This is my own startup. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

And we just did a massive upgrade to our

builder, our AI tool builder over on the platform. So let's get into the Nvidia podcast.

I think it's safe to say that no company has ridden the AI wave quite like Nvidia. Ever since

Chitipti first came out, which is, of course, over three years ago now, we've seen, you know,

Nvidia has seen explosive growth from all of their AI products that followed

and all of the AI products that followed relying heavily on NVIDIA's chips.

And so, of course, the revenue, the profits, their cash reserves, everything surge,

including their stock price, which turned them into roughly a $4.6 trillion company. So right now, they are

the world's dominant supplier of high-performance GPUs, and they have used their financial

firepower to dramatically expand their investing, especially in different AI companies and

infrastructure deals. Because, of course, if they put money into AI companies, all of the

infrastructure required to run it is going to get, you know, they're going to be buying

Nvidia GPUs and paying money back to Nvidia. So just last year alone, Invida did 67 venture

deals and that is more than there are 57 investments that they made the year before in 2024.

So all of those numbers don't include all of the deals that were completed through
