Jensen Huang-The First Six Months of NVIDIA

Jensen Huang, Co-founder of NVIDIA, recalls in vivid detail how the three founding members of the company gave the company legs - from learning the basics of incorporation, to hiring their first lawyer, to keeping a supply of

In 2008, he encouraged a lot of employees to buy stock options, and then stock crashed and everyone lost money. So he offered his employees to sell their stock options at the price they bought it. This year, they had no layoffs even though everyone is doing so.

[@THEGAMINGHELP101]

Maybe they didn't hire people for no reason and are a responsible company. Alot of tech startups way over hired.

[@trends-friend]

they're not laying off because demand for their chips are going through the roof while other tech companies are overdue for trimming fat, after seeing X running just fine with 1/5 of their original staff.
