Jensen Huang, the CEO and founder of Nvidia, has an inspiring entrepreneurial journey that began at a Denny's breakfast booth. Born in Taiwan, Huang worked as a dishwasher at Denny's before attending Stanford University. After quitting his job, he moved to California and started Nvidia, pitching to Sequoia without a business plan. Despite initial setbacks, including the failed launch of NV1 chips, Nvidia eventually sold 250,000 units to Diamond Multimedia. Over 31 years, Nvidia has reached significant milestones in AI and 3D chip technology, cementing its place as a leader in the tech industry. Huang's journey underscores the pain and suffering involved in entrepreneurship, a sentiment echoed by Elon Musk, who stated that creating a company is not fun and involves dealing with numerous failures.
