TL;DR:
- Jensen Huang met some former Sega folks in Tokyo to say thanks.
- Sega put in $5 million back in 1995.
- That cash kept Nvidia from folding when it was still a tiny graphics startup.
Jensen Huang's Tokyo Meeting
Nvidia boss Jensen Huang met some old Sega contacts in Tokyo to say thanks. Back in 1995, Sega put in $5 million that kept Nvidia from folding.
How It Went Down
Unusual Whales reported that Huang sat down with former Sega CEO Shoichiro Irimajiri and designer Yu Suzuki. The Sega money helped Nvidia avoid bankruptcy back then.
Nvidia was just a small graphics startup at the time. That early cash from a game company made the difference for staying alive.
