At a Glance
NVIDIA NVentures is the venture capital arm of NVIDIA Corporation, one of the world's leading semiconductor and AI computing companies. The firm leverages NVIDIA's deep expertise in GPU computing, artificial intelligence, and accelerated computing to identify and support promising startups across multiple sectors. NVentures provides portfolio companies with more than just capital - they offer access to NVIDIA's cutting-edge technology stack, including GPUs, software frameworks like CUDA, and AI development tools. The firm focuses on companies building solutions in autonomous vehicles, robotics, healthcare AI, edge computing, and other areas where GPU acceleration can provide significant competitive advantages. Their investment approach is strategic, often aligning with NVIDIA's broader technology roadmap while supporting innovation in emerging computing paradigms. The team works closely with NVIDIA's engineering and product teams to provide technical guidance and partnership opportunities to their portfolio companies.
“Investing in startups that are transforming industries through AI, accelerated computing, and intelligent edge technologies.”
Mohamed Siddeek, known as Sid, is a corporate vice president of NVIDIA and runs NVentures. He rejoined the company in 2021 specifically to build the venture arm, after a period as a general partner at SoftBank Group and earlier senior roles at KKR and Morgan Stanley, a background in large-scale private capital rather than early-stage venture.
The team is small relative to its deal volume and works alongside NVIDIA's engineering and product organisations, which is the substantive part of the offer. Portfolio companies get technical guidance, early access to the software stack including CUDA and the AI development tooling, and, in a supply-constrained market, a working relationship with the supplier their roadmaps depend on. Siddeek has publicly framed the arm as taking a long view rather than trading the AI cycle.
NVentures is NVIDIA's formal venture arm, formed inside the company in early 2022 and surfaced publicly in early 2023, with its first commitment recorded in September 2022. It is not a limited partner fund. It invests off NVIDIA's balance sheet, so there is no disclosed fund series, vintage or close, and no independently verified assets-under-management figure.
Deal pace has tracked the AI cycle. NVentures had backed at least 19 companies by early 2024 and completed roughly 30 deals in 2025. NVIDIA's investing in aggregate, counting NVentures alongside direct strategic and infrastructure commitments, reached 67 venture rounds in 2025 against 54 in 2024, with reported cumulative exposure across roughly 170 deals. The stated strategy is coverage of every layer of the AI stack: model developers, compute and cloud infrastructure, robotics, autonomous driving, healthcare and drug discovery, and quantum computing. Disclosed positions have included CoreWeave, Mistral, Figure, Perplexity and Imbue.
NVIDIA NVentures primarily invests at the Seed, Series A, Series B+ stages. This means they focus on companies that are building their initial product and finding product-market fit.
NVIDIA NVentures is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. Many of their portfolio companies are also based in this region, though they invest across geographies.
NVIDIA NVentures focuses on investments in AI, Robotics, Deeptech, Aerospace & Defense. Their portfolio reflects deep expertise and networks within these sectors.
NVIDIA NVentures's typical investment check size ranges from $1M to $15M. Actual amounts may vary based on the stage, sector, and specific opportunity.
