Jensen Huang thanks Sega for the $5m that saved Nvidia from bankruptcy in 1995
Nvidia and Sega go back 30 years. Jensen Huang flew to Tokyo to thank the games maker for a $5m investment that saved his company from bankruptcy in 1995.
“If not for what Sega did for Nvidia, Nvidia would not be here today.” That is Jensen Huang, chief executive of the world’s most valuable company, thanking a games maker that once saved it from collapse.
Huang met former Sega boss Shoichiro Irimajiri and the game designer Yu Suzuki in Tokyo on Wednesday, Reuters reported. He went to say thank you for a $5m cheque written 30 years ago.
“That we had chosen exactly the wrong technology, and that we will be here today, the largest company in the world, is unimaginable,” Huang said. “Your belief in us means a lot to me.”
