NVIDIA is reportedly set to invest between $500 million and $1 billion in AI software platform Poolside. This investment could increase NVIDIA's stake if Poolside achieves a $2 billion funding round, which would value the company at $12 billion. NVIDIA had previously participated in Poolside's B-round financing in October 2024. The chipmaker is actively expanding its AI startup portfolio, with recent strategic moves including a potential $500 million investment in autonomous driving startup Wayve and a $500 million stake in Intel. These investments highlight NVIDIA's commitment to strengthening its position in the AI sector.
