Jensen Huang

Jensen Huang is the founder and CEO of NVIDIA, the dominant AI chip company he co-founded in 1993 with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem . He has led the firm for over three decades, steering it from a "game graphics card company" to the central infrastructure player in deep learning and AI . As 5Y Capital described it, Huang made a long-term bet on parallel computing and GPU architecture when the industry favored CPUs, and NVIDIA's sustained investment in CUDA laid the groundwork for its later dominance . He has publicly framed NVIDIA's mission around driving down computation costs—claiming the company reduced them by a factor of one million over the past decade—and has emphasized building general-purpose humanoid robot models as a next frontier .
