Nvidia was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem. Initially focused on the graphics market, the company's first product was the NV1, released in 1995. Nvidia gained significant recognition with the release of the RIVA series of graphics cards in the late 1990s, and it solidified its leadership position with the introduction of the GeForce brand in 1999. Over the years, Nvidia has expanded its product offerings, venturing into AI and deep learning, and has become a vital force in the technology sector, particularly in gaming and data centers.
