Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of NVIDIA, with investors expecting his investment strategy for AI startups to tighten.

Jensen Huang has stepped down as CEO of NVIDIA, ending his 33-year tenure. NVIDIA participated in 105 rounds of startup funding this year and was often the largest investor, with investors expecting interim CEO Colette Kress to shift to a more conservative investment strategy, potentially lowering the valuations of related companies. NVIDIA had previously invested in companies such as CoreWeave, Crusoe, Mistral AI, Lambda, and Black Forest Labs, and acquired Hugging Face for $13 billion.
